This year will mark the first holiday season for Epic Universe at Universal Orlando Resort, and both The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic and Celestial Park will participate in the celebration.
Holidays at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Universal confirmed that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic in Epic Universe will have holiday decorations, joining Hogsmeade in Universal Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley in Universal Studios Florida.
Universal did not announce if the Epic Universe world would have other seasonal offerings, although it is expected to serve hot Butterbeer and offer Christmas merchandise, just like the other two lands.
The Frog Choir in Hogsmeade and Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees in Diagon Alley will perform seasonal songs again. The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle will return to Hogsmeade.
Holiday Decorations at Celestial Park
Celestial Park, the completely original world in the center of Epic Universe, will also have seasonal lighting and decorations. The area is known for its night lighting.
New Year’s Eve
Epic Universe will also participate in New Year’s Eve celebrations. More details will be shared later. The park does not currently have fireworks, just a fountain show, but Universal has indicated they are “looking into” a more expanded nighttime spectacular.
The holiday season at Universal Orlando Resort runs from November 21, 2025, through January 4, 2026.
