Celebrate Christmas throughout Universal Studios Hollywood theme park featuring several attractions and themes. Our long-time favorite for over 10 years has been Whoo-ville and Grinchmas.  There's a crooked Christmas tree and cast of characters off the pages of a popular Dr. Seuss book that offer fantastic photo opportunities.
