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!

Activities and Snacks

Hands down, one of kids' favorite activities seems to be the simplest: the decorating and hanging of some Grinch-y ornaments at the tree lot. You can also decorate and send a postcard to have a book donated to your community and purchase giant cookies to decorate and devour. If the drive, circuitous parking route and hike up to the park made you hungry, there are also other seasonal treats like mini-donuts, warm churros and hot chocolate to fortify you.

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
