The Grinchiest Meet and Greet of the Season Returns to Universal Islands of Adventure
The mean green king of Christmas chaos is officially back, and he’s ready to roast your holiday spirit like a Who-ham on a spit. The Grinch meet and greet has once again taken over Seuss Landing at Universal Islands of Adventure, bringing all the snark, sass, and Seuss-approved silliness you could want for the 2025 Christmas season.

This year, you’ll find the Grinch holding court in the former Honk Honkers space, right across from Moose Juice, Goose Juice. A full outdoor queue lines up with stanchions, and a digital wait-time sign gives guests a reality check about just how popular our favorite furry grouch truly is. Spoiler alert: the lines get long. Really long. But hey, meeting the Grinch is practically a holiday rite of passage at Universal.
Once inside, each party enters one at a time for their very own showdown with Mr. Grumpy Green. The former sweets shop has been transformed into a wonderfully wacky Who-ville hideaway complete with bright Christmas trees, festive décor, a pink chaise lounge, and even the Grinch’s sleigh piled high with presents he definitely didn’t borrow without asking.

And the Grinch himself? He’s decked out head to toe in his classic Santa suit — hat, jacket, shoes and all. Expect him to pose for photos, strike dramatic Grinch-y stances, and judge your life choices with all the holiday warmth of a cooling roast beast.
If you want even more Grinchmas goodness, he’s also starring in The Grinch & Friends Character Breakfast, anchoring the Universal Holiday Tour, and taking center stage in The Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular. Not to mention the Whos who roam Seuss Landing bringing even more whimsy to the season.
Are you planning to meet the Grinch this year, or will you leave him to his holiday hijinks?
