Universal Orlando Resort is preparing to kick off its holiday celebration on November 14, and guests now have two more reasons to get excited about this year’s festivities.The resort has already confirmed the return of several beloved Christmas traditions, including Grinchmas, its popular holiday parade, and seasonal entertainment throughout its theme parks. However, Universal isn’t finished revealing what visitors can expect.With just days remaining before the celebration begins, two additional experiences have appeared inside Universal Studios Florida, giving guests an early look at what’s coming.Both additions are located in a familiar section of the park, but visitors will have to wait until the official holiday kickoff to enjoy them.Universal Orlando Prepares for ChristmasThe holiday season officially begins at Universal Orlando Resort on November 14, 2026, bringing Christmas entertainment, decorations, and seasonal experiences to multiple theme parks.Unlike some holiday celebrations at Walt Disney World, Universal includes much of its seasonal entertainment with regular theme park admission.

Guests can also experience Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, with seasonal decorations and nighttime entertainment.Epic Universe is also offering holiday experiences in areas including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic and How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk.However, Universal Studios Florida is getting two additional offerings that weren’t previously part of the announced holiday lineup.Credit: UniversalTwo New Additions ConfirmedUniversal Orlando has added two seasonal food booths to the New York section of Universal Studios Florida, introducing additional dining options for the upcoming holiday celebration.The booths are called Holiday Sweets & Sips and Puerto Rican Holidays, and both feature menus designed around Christmas flavors and seasonal traditions.Although the locations have already appeared inside the park, neither will officially welcome guests until November 14, when Holidays at Universal Orlando Resort begins.The additions give visitors more opportunities to enjoy seasonal treats without leaving the theme park.They also expand Universal’s holiday dining lineup beyond the traditional Christmas snacks that guests might expect.One location focuses on festive desserts and specialty beverages, while the other introduces Puerto Rican holiday dishes and drinks.Together, they offer two very different ways to celebrate the season.Credit: UniversalA Festive Menu Brings Several Unexpected TreatsHoliday Sweets & Sips will offer a selection of Christmas-inspired desserts and beverages, with several items designed to capture the spirit of the season.Guests will be able to choose from:Christmas Tree WaffleRed-Nosed Reindeer DonutEarl’s Hazelnut Dot CakeVery Berry Christmas Dot CakeThe menu also includes a Winter Village Cookie Box, offering visitors another option to enjoy seasonal sweets while exploring the park.For drinks, Universal will serve hot cocoa and a Peppermint Espresso Martini.The combination of familiar holiday flavors and creatively themed desserts makes this booth particularly appealing to guests who enjoy trying limited-time treats.It also gives visitors another reason to spend time in the New York area, which already plays an important role in Universal Studios Florida’s Christmas celebration.However, the second booth takes a noticeably different approach.Credit: UniversalAnother Location Celebrates a Different Christmas TraditionPuerto Rican Holidays will introduce guests to traditional holiday flavors through a menu inspired by Puerto Rican celebrations.The booth will offer:Nochebuena DinnerPastel al CalderoCoquitoNo-quito mocktail.Nochebuena, or Christmas Eve, is an important part of Puerto Rican holiday celebrations, often bringing families together for elaborate meals and festivities.Pasteles are another traditional holiday favorite, while coquito is a creamy coconut-based beverage commonly associated with Christmas celebrations in Puerto Rico.The No-quito mocktail offers an additional beverage option for guests who prefer an alcohol-free option.By introducing these dishes, Universal is expanding its seasonal dining offerings beyond familiar American Christmas desserts.It also allows visitors to experience holiday traditions that may differ from their own.And with both booths in New York, guests can explore the new menus while enjoying the festive atmosphere.Two new holiday food booths and menus have been added to New York: Holiday Sweets & Sips and Puerto Rican Holidays. @UniversalORL https://t.co/TQWXXdOUjt— Inside Universal (@insideuniversal) November 11, 2026November 14 Marks the Beginning of the CelebrationThe arrival of Holiday Sweets & Sips and Puerto Rican Holidays adds another layer to Universal Orlando’s holiday festivities.Between the return of Grinchmas, the Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s, Christmas celebrations throughout The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and seasonal entertainment at Epic Universe, visitors already have plenty to experience.Now, the two additional booths give guests even more reasons to explore Universal Studios Florida.Although both locations are already in place, their menus won’t officially become available until November 14.For visitors heading to Universal Orlando during the holiday season, the additions offer another opportunity to enjoy Christmas beyond the resort’s rides, shows, and decorations.With the celebration just days away, Universal’s latest announcement makes it clear that the resort is still adding to its holiday lineup.The post Universal Orlando Confirms 2 New Holiday Additions Arriving November 14 appeared first on Inside the Magic.
