Holidays At Universal Studios Hollywood 2018

It is hard to believe we are talking about the Holidays and Christmas decorations already. Not only because Halloween it is not even here but also because SoCal weather has been weird and the hot temperatures are still on full blast. But since some of the celebrations will start at Universal Studios as early as Nov 17th, it is time to start planning and buying your tickets.

The fun will start November 17th through January 6th. What can you expect?

• Nightly Snowfall: Glistening snow will begin to fall over Hogsmeade Village in the evenings beginning Saturday, Nov. 17 and through Sunday, Jan. 6.
