My favourite part of last year's Christmas celebrations is back. Grinchmas takes over Seuss Landing at Island's of Adventure.

Make sure you check out the Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular, a stage show re-telling of the Dr Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas. The production is great and so are the performers. Even though the Grinch is the star of the show, it really is Max the dog that steals all the spotlight.

If you want to meet the Grinch you can have breakfast with him and all his friends at Circus McGurkus Cafe Stoo-pendous. You'll need to make a reservation in advance if want to dine with him, the Whos' and the Cat in the Hat.

Usually I skip over meeting characters but I would always make an exception for the Grinch at Christmas. Just like Jim Carrey's portrayal, this Grinch has a wicked sense of humour. He told me his favourite pizza toppings were rotting fish, motor oil and a sprinkling of tears of the innocent. Let's just hope that the Grinch doesn't bring any pizza to breakfast.
