Greetings from the Universal Orlando Resort. The holidays are in full swing here and we’re loving every minute of it. Let’s check out what’s new around the parks today.

Took a little stroll through Mistletoe Pines Village in CityWalk on our way to Universal Studios Florida and even caught some live music.

Inside the Holiday Tribute Store, a new U Design kiosk has been set up in the first room offering custom Earl the Squirrel merchandise. There’s a metal wall sign, phone case, ornaments, and magnet, but the machine was not yet available while we were visiting. We love this artwork, so we’ll be back again soon to make an ornament.

There’s some new merchandise for Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s. The artwork is similar to the new Freestyle cup we recently spotted.

Revenge of the Mummy is testing out a Virtual Line system just like Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. The attraction was only accepting Virtual Line and Express Passes today. The parks are anticipating big crowds for the holiday season!

In case you missed it, the UOAP Lounge has extended their hours for the holidays. They’ll now be open from park open to close so you can stop by any time and grab some passholder gear.

The face mask policy for Team Members has been updated, and now we’ve seen Grinchmas performed without masks and a maskless Grinch meeting guests.

The All Hallows Eve Boutique has gotten some new holiday decor and now there’s even a new sign over the entrance. The word “Eve” is covered by a wooden “Holiday” sign. It’s beautiful inside and we love it.

Thanks for joining us around the parks today. We’ll be back again soon, so make sure you keep following Universal Parks News Today for the all the latest updates.
