This is a partnered post. All opinions are my own.
- Mannheim Steamroller returns to the Music Plaza stage in Universal Studios on select nights to perform electrifying holiday classics with a modern twist. Performances will take place on Dec. 3, 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18.
- At Universal’s Islands of Adventure, guests will come face-to-face with the mean, green one himself and be filled with holiday cheer as Grinchmas comes to life throughout Seuss Landing. Join the Grinch and friends for a character breakfast (additional cost). Make sure to grab seats for the Grinchmas Who-lida Spectacular show too!
- Experience the 15th anniversary Macy’s Holiday Parade, featuring some of the same larger-than-life balloons seen in last week’s famous Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. Colorful holiday characters and fantasy-filled floats will fill the streets of Universal Studios Florida!
- Join Barney™ and his friends for a magical musical show full of songs at “A Day In The Park With Barney!
- And visit the The Blues Brothers® Holiday Show.

atOh to be able to go and see something like this, is my dream. We plan to visit US and Florida next year, but not during this period unfortunately. It looks like it will be an amazing series of entertainment for young and old alike. Cool stuff!
