The holiday tradition of Macy’s balloons return to Universal Orlando holidays celebrations.

For many people. Macy’s balloons are a holiday tradition that brings back favorite memories. At the Universal Orlando holiday experience, those iconic Macy’s balloons are on display for everyone to enjoy this holiday season. There’s even a little snow to get everyone in the holiday spirit.

Similar to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, the Universal Orlando holiday parade has been grounded this year. But, Universal Orlando has adapted and the holiday experience is just what many people need this holiday season.

Universal’s Holiday Experience featuring Macy’s Balloons allows guests to stroll past all the iconic balloons in a winter wonderland setting. From the characters like the Minions to The Gingerbread Man, all the favorites are back. And, Santa is waiting for you at the end of the path.

This up close and personal experience allows guests to see the details in these holiday displays. While seeing the float down the streets is amazing, this new experience gives a new appreciation for the holiday experience.

This holiday experience is another way that Universal Orlando has adapted this year. With many people wanting to keep holiday traditions going, this stroll through event is a perfect compromise.

The Macy’s Balloons aren’t the only holiday experiences around Universal Orlando. In addition to the scrumptious holiday food offerings, there is a Holiday Tree Trail, Holiday Tree Hunt, Holiday Character Celebrations, Grinch appearances in Whooville and holidays in the Wizarding World (with hot Butterbeer). The magic and mischief is everywhere in the theme park.

For theme park fans who want these holiday experiences, Universal Orlando has found a way to balance the holiday traditions in the current climate. By focusing on the memories people have made over the years, that sense of nostalgia will bring the merry throughout the holiday season.
