The Holidays at Universal Orlando are starting this Saturday, November 12, featuring an incredible collection of festivities inspired by pop culture’s most beloved stories and characters, including Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Grinchmas, Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s and more.
Today, Universal gave the first-look sneak peek at some of the holiday-inspired menu offerings that will be available, as well as some information on the all-new Holiday Tribute Store that will feature unique merchandise inspired by Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal’s very own Earl the Squirrel, and more.
Some of the tasty treats that will be available this year are:
- Earl’s Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Acorn Bomb (available at TODAY Café and Battery Park – located alongside the lagoon near Mel’s Drive-In): A holiday fan-favorite is back, now themed to the beloved, original Universal character – Earl the Squirrel. The delicious beverage consists of a chocolate acorn shell filled with salted caramel and mini marshmallows, served with Italian hot chocolate.
- Roast Beast Sandwich (available at Circus McGurkus Café Stoo-pendous): Guests looking for comfort food flavors can savor the Roast Beast Sandwich – a mini meatloaf sandwich featuring French onion soup-dipped roast beef with a cheddar cheese sauce – and even a “secret” sauce – served on a pretzel bun.
