Last year, modified Who-liday festivities took place at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, which included the Grinch and Whos making physically distant appearances and wearing face coverings, along with a Grinch-led photo session for guests. The auditions give evidence that the full celebration will be held this year with the return of The Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular.
