The holidays are about to get even more magical and picturesque at Universal Studios Hollywood. From Nov. 17, 2018, through Jan. 6, 2019, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter [1] will transform into a Winter wonderland, complete with nightly snowfall in Hogsmeade! That's right, folks — for the first time ever, artificial snow will descend from the skies [2] to make you feel like you're Christmas shopping at the real Honeydukes Sweetshop and not simply strolling though a theme park in Southern California with your kids who won't stop nagging you about buying chocolate frogs [3].
To make matters even more exciting, a dazzling lights and music show will illuminate the Hogwarts castle each night, just like last year [5]. Oh, and the theme park is now offering a "buy a day, get a second day free" deal, too, so yeah, we'll see you at Harry Potter [6] World this Christmas. Meet us at the butterbeer station?
