Universal Orlando Resort's 2015 'Holidays' Celebration

[SMAX]

Starting December 5th and running daily until January 2nd, families can create unforgettable memories as they experience fun-filled Christmas traditions throughout Universal Orlando Resort – including its two theme parks, Universal CityWalk and on-site hotels.

Guests will have the opportunity to:

• View the iconic larger-than-life balloons seen in the famous Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City during the Macy’s Holiday Parade at Universal Studios Florida. This year’s parade features two all-new balloons exclusive to Universal Orlando: Tom Turkey Balloonicle, a towering balloon and self-powered hybrid vehicle and Holiday Lights Balloon, a string of six dazzling Christmas light balloons that dance through the air.
• Watch as Grinchmas comes to life throughout Seuss Landing at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Experiences include a heart-warming live show, “Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular,” featuring The Grinch and the Whos from Who-ville. Guests can also enjoy character meet and greets with The Grinch and the Whos within Seuss Landing.
• Sing along to festive classics as the masters of modern Christmas music – Mannheim Steamroller – perform live at the Music Plaza Stage in Universal Studios Florida on Dec. 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20.

All festivities are included with theme park admission to Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

The celebration continues at Universal Orlando’s four on-site hotels, where guests will enjoy the spirit of the season with holiday buffets and dining events, tree-lighting ceremonies, Hanukkah candle lightings, visits from Santa Claus, Christmas poolside "dive-in" movies and family-friendly New Year’s Eve celebrations.
