Universal Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s

While the traditional Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade only happens on Thanksgiving, Universal Orlando brings its version all holiday season. The all new Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s debuts at Universal Studios Florida. Everyone will want a front row seat for this holiday event.

Universal’s favorite characters are ready to celebrate the holidays. From the Despicable Me Minions to Shrek and friends, all the classic Universal characters will make an appearance. The new holiday parade features 30 floats and balloons. Additionally, over 100 performers will walk the parade route.

In addition to the Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s, the Grinch wants to share his classic holiday tale. The Whos from Who-ville have decorated the Seuss Landing for the holidays. Guests can stop by for the Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular. Maybe the Grinch’s heart has stayed three sizes too big this holiday season.

All the Universal holiday events are included with park admission.
