The Grinch

Guests eager to meet The Grinch must enter through a festive red heart archway. This incredibly popular character encounter frequently involves an hours-long wait, so be sure to check the posted wait time outside the queue. When you finally reach the front, you’ll find The Grinch dressed in his classic Santa Claus attire, posing in a charming photo setting complete with a “Whoville Tree Trimmers” vehicle, a decorated Christmas tree, and wrapped presents.

Cindy Lou Who

Cindy Lou Who usually greets guests in a dedicated space next to the stage immediately after her scheduled performances. During these shows, she beautifully narrates How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Storytime performances are scheduled five times daily: 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 1:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. While she occasionally roams the area, the best time to ensure a meeting is right after one of her shows.

Postmaster Lou Lou Who

Keep an eye out for Cindy Lou Who’s father, the Whoville postmaster, as he roams Universal Plaza! While he moves around, you’ll most likely find him near the post office attraction. Don’t just meet him, participate in the holiday spirit: guests can mail a postcard from this location, and for every card sent, Universal Studios Hollywood will make a charitable donation.

Max the Dog

Guests can meet Max the dog, who is perched adorably atop a giant gift box wrapped in distinctive paw print paper. This photo opportunity is set directly in front of The Grinch’s iconic sleigh. Max is fully in character, wearing his signature reindeer “antler” fastened securely to his head with a bright red bow beneath his chin.

Betty Lou Who

Betty Lou Who, Cindy Lou Who’s mother, is easily recognizable in her festive outfit, which includes a dramatic red cape and a dress patterned with small Christmas trees. Completing her signature Whoville look are two distinct stand-up braids wrapped around a tiny teacup hat.

Mayor Augustus MayWho

The Mayor of Whoville can be found adding a touch of pomp and formality to Universal Plaza. He is instantly recognizable by his impressive official attire, including a grand fur-lined cape and a sash adorned with numerous medals of office. Guests are most likely to spot this distinguished character circulating near the main stage area, ready to greet his constituents.

Martha May Whovier

Keep an eye out for the glamorous Martha May Whovier, whose holiday style always steals the show! She is dressed in her iconic, dazzling Santa-inspired dress and matching hat. Her dramatic and festive ensemble makes her a captivating character to meet and a must-see during your Grinchmas visit.

Froodle the Weatherman

Guests can meet Froodle the Weatherman, a character created exclusively for Universal Studios Hollywood’s Grinchmas celebration. His eccentric look includes towering white, cyclone-like hair and a matching beard. Froodle’s suit jacket is appropriately festive, decorated with snowflakes, and he always carries a distinctive cane that cleverly doubles as weather-monitoring equipment.

Baker

Look for the jolly Whoville Baker wandering the area, bringing a sweet presence to Universal Plaza! This character carries a comically oversized tube of frosting and is dressed in a delightful outfit adorned with various gingerbread men. Their unique costume and amusing prop make for a great photo opportunity.
