5 Reasons Every Harry Potter Fan Must Visit Universal Orlando At Christmas

2. Get In The Christmas Spirit With Celestina Warbeck

If the decorations at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter wasn't enough festive perfection then the vocals of Celestina Warbeck will bring Christmas cheer to your heart.

Celestina and the Banshees perform in Diagon Alley daily, but over the Christmas period the singing sorceress performs festive tracks. You can enjoy a number of songs including Nothing Like A Holiday Spell, Accio Christmas and my favourite My Baby Gave Me A Hippogriff For Christmas.

I don't mind Celestina's regular show but for me her Christmas show is an absolute must watch. It's fun, the songs are truly catchy and it's the perfect mixture of 50's Christmas stylings and a Harry Potter flare. We all know Molly Weasley loves Celestina Warbeck on the Wizarding Wireless over the cold winter nights, so it's fun to imagine the Weasleys dancing in their kitchen over the holiday season to Nothing Like A Holiday Spell.

If you are over in Hogsmeade then you can catch the Frog Choir at select times of day where they too put on a festive concert. They sing a mixture of songs we all know like, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, to ones that are unique to the Wizarding World such as I Cast a Spell on Father Christmas.

For any Harry Potter fan it's just amazing to be absorbed right into the pages of the books and see these performances come to life.
