The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade and Seuss Landing now have more Christmas decor at Universal Islands of Adventure.
Islands of Adventure Christmas Decorations
Seuss Landing
The Christmas Trees have been installed at the Seuss Landing entrance in Islands of Adventure. The trees feature small white balls that light up in the dark creating wonderful and exciting Seuss-like images dancing around the tree.
Each side of the bridge into Seuss Landing has a tree. You may also notice garland has been added to the light fixtures and poles in the entrance. The garland has many different colored bobbles.
Even in the If I Ran the Zoo play area, holiday cheer has spread in the form of more colorful holiday decor.
Seuss Landing is known for its wacky shapes and colors. The walkway now has a series of boxes holding traditional undecorated Christmas trees. In the center sits a decorated colorful Christmas tree with a silver base.
The Yertle the Turtle topiary is now wearing a giant pink ribbon for the season. There is also a large candy cane made of tinsel.
In the stroller parking area for Caro-Seuss-el, there are more live Christmas trees in colorful boxes and a fully decorated tree in the center. Similar to the trio we saw previously closer to the main entrance.
The Circus McGurkus Cafe Stoo-Pendous! entrance now has a garland with bobbles and ribbons on the tent stakes. Last week we discovered decor inside the restaurant. In February of this year, we reviewed the Circus McGurkus menu.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade Train Station now has garland.
The garland is much different from those seen in Suess Landing. The garland at the Hogwarts Express – Hogsmeade is more traditional featuring warm hue lights, pine cones, and red berries.
The entrance of Hogsmeade also has a large garland strand. On either side of the main entrance, there are smaller styled garland pieces.
The backside of the entrance has the same decor as the front.
Here is a closer look at those smaller garland pieces on the sides. You can see there are many types of pine creating a more dynamic look for a rather muted choice.
Inside Hogsmeade the light posts have been decorated with similarly styled teardrop swags with red ribbon and pine cones. The exterior of the shops also have added lights and garland to their facades.
For now, these three small Christmas trees are the only signs of holiday decor near the Hogwarts Express.
There is a teardrop swag also added to the light fixture above the entrance to the lockers of Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. This swag is rather plane but it does have some golden ribbon tied throughout.
The Zonko’s facade also has had garland added not only above the shopping windows but the tops of dormers.
Last week, we noticed that Honey Dukes’ interior was decorated. This week, the exterior gets attention with matching garland above the windows and a wreath at the front door.
Recently Universal Orlando Resort released details on their upcoming holiday offerings. Including new merchandise to celebrate the Macy’s Holiday Parade and the newest Coca-Cola Freestyle holiday mug.
