Here’s a holiday treat that will appeal to everyone in the family: a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood.  Cindy-Lou and all the Whos will have you story telling, signing, dancing, ornament making, and Grinch and Max meeting. Young mischief makers will thrill to the merry Minion festivities over at Super Silly Fun Land and witches and wizards can feel the magic of the season on Hogswart grounds and wandering through Hogsmeade, keeping warm with some new hot butter beer. The holiday spirit permeates every corner of Universal Studios Hollywood now through Dec. 30, and we’ve got the scoop on where to go and what to do!

But Wait! There’s More

If you can drag your wand wavers away from casting their spells with their new wands, don't forget about CityWalk.

There you'll find live music, snowfall, Santa and a tree with over 200,000 dancing lights. As well as more varied dinner options.

But the highlight for the kids may be the dancing water fountain where streams of choreographed water spurt into the air complemented by red and green LED lights and holiday-themed music. You may want to bring a change of clothes: most kids, and many adults, can't resist trying to run across the fountain without getting wet. Without success.

Dates: “Grinchmas” runs weekends on Dec. 1, 2, 8-9 and then continues daily from Dec. 14-30, 2018
Hours: The park opens at 9 a.m. and closes at various times
Cost: Tickets start at $109
