David Sprague, Universal Studios Hollywood
At its theme parks in Orlando and Hollywood, Universal offers unique takes on the holidays. Instead of jolly old Santa Claus and his North Pole elves, visitors can meet The Grinch (the repentant one who merrily carves the roast beast, not the one whose heart was two sizes too small – although he occasionally may lapse into sarcasm), his wannabe reindeer dog, Max, and the Whos down in Whoville. And instead of hot chocolate or cider, the parks’ Wizarding World of Harry Potter lands serve hot butterbeer.
