Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, Texas, will celebrate the holidays with Santa, character photos and seasonal entertainment. The celebration runs November 20, 2026 to January 3, 2027.
Isle of Curiosity will host much of the celebration, including a 40-foot Christmas tree. A tree-lighting ceremony at dusk each evening will feature Gabby’s Meowy Christmas dance party.
Stilt walkers, carolers and additional performers will entertain guests in the land. At the Letters to Santa station, kids can write their wish lists and mail them to Santa.
Throughout the park, trees will glow with twinkling lights. Play Ambassadors will help keep spirits bright.
