The Grinch & Friends Character Breakfast
Held inside Circus McGurkus Cafe Stoo-pendous at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, this sit-down breakfast gives guests the chance to meet the one and only mean, green holiday icon himself—along with the Whos from Whoville. The experience includes a hearty breakfast buffet, themed treats, and a non-alcoholic beverage.
Dates for the 2025-2026 season run on select days from November 21, 2025, through January 4, 2026. Pricing begins at $58.99 per person plus tax, and separate theme park admission to Islands of Adventure is required.
Universal Holiday Tour
For guests who want to make their day even merrier, the Universal Holiday Tour returns as a limited-time guided experience that offers exclusive perks across both parks. The tour includes:
- Exclusive Meet-and-Greets with The Grinch and his loyal dog Max, plus Santa himself
- Prime Viewing for both the Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular and the Universal Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s
- Snacks & Beverages, including cookie decorating and light bites
- Priority Access to one pre-determined attraction at Universal Studios Florida

The tour is offered on select dates from November 21, 2025, through January 1, 2026, with prices starting at $79.99 per person plus tax. Guests must have valid park-to-park admission to participate.
Whether you’re looking to enjoy a silly breakfast with the Grinch or take a holly-jolly stroll through both parks on the Holiday Tour, these festive experiences are a perfect way to add some extra sparkle to your Universal holiday visit. Reservations for both are now available and are known to sell out quickly, especially closer to Christmas week—so grab your spot before your heart grows three sizes too small!
