A festive holiday display has arrived at the entrance to Universal Studios Florida, giving guests an early look at the upcoming holiday season at Universal Orlando Resort.

The park’s main entrance archway is currently covered with a large printed scrim featuring a holiday-themed design promoting Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s. The artwork recreates the appearance of the entrance, complete with the “Universal Studios Florida” lettering above a large decorative arch.

The illustrated archway is surrounded by thick green garland decorated with colorful Christmas lights and ornaments in red, gold, silver, and other colors. At the center, a large circular wreath frames a promotional sign for Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s.

The sign also features the Macy’s logo and advertises the holiday celebration running from November 14 through January 3, 2027.

Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s is one of the resort’s returning holiday entertainment offerings. The parade features larger-than-life balloons, colorful floats, Universal characters, and holiday-themed performers.

This year’s celebration will also bring a new addition to the parade lineup. Earl the Squirrel, Universal Orlando’s popular holiday mascot, will receive his own giant balloon following its debut in the 100th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on November 26.

The 2026 Holidays at Universal Orlando celebration runs from November 14, 2026, through January 3, 2027. Other returning experiences include Grinchmas and Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, along with additional seasonal decorations and entertainment throughout the resort.

The new entrance artwork offers a festive welcome for guests visiting Universal Studios Florida as the resort prepares for another holiday season.
