Universal Orlando<\/a> says it will spread more holiday cheer within its Epic Universe theme park<\/a> into the Super Nintendo World<\/a> and How to Train Your Dragon \u2014 Isle of Berk<\/a> areas this year.<\/p>\n

The resort\u2019s festivities kick off Nov. 14 and run through Jan. 3.<\/p>\n

Last year, which marked the first holiday season for Epic Universe, merry decor was concentrated in its Wizarding World of Harry Potter \u2014 Ministry of Magic and Celestial Park sections.\u00a0 This will leave the park\u2019s Dark Universe land, which features Universal classic monsters such as Frankenstein, Dracula and the Invisible Man, as the holiday holdout. Details about the looks for Super Nintendo World, which has a videogame vibe, and Isle of Berk, which is heavy on viking and dragons, were not announced.<\/p>\n

Universal also confirmed the return of several holiday mainstays at the parks, including Universal\u2019s Holiday Parade featuring Macy\u2019s at Universal Studios Florida<\/a>, as well as Grinchmas (including the \u201cGrinchmas Who-liday Spectacular\u201d stage show and \u201cThe Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle\u201d projection show at Islands of Adventure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These holiday activities are included with regular admission to the theme parks.<\/p>\n

At Universal CityWalk<\/a>, a seasonal overlay on the second level will again result in the Green and Red Coconut Club with live entertainment and themed cocktails.<\/p>\n
