Those who love Harry Potter know that Christmas is always a huge feature of J.K. Rowling's creation so it seems only fitting that the Wizarding World in Orlando should be just as festive.

For the first time the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be decorated for the holiday season. Both Hogsmede and Diagon Alley will be covered in garlands and lights so you know the winter festivities have arrived.

The decorations won't be the only thing to enjoy this Christmas at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, there are treats to be had. Fans of all the delicious Harry Potter themed foods should be happy this Christmas as Universal will be introducing some new festive foods to sample.

The entertainment in the Wizarding World is also getting a Christmas makeover. There will be special performances from Celestine Warbeck and the Banshees and the Frog Choir.

One of the most exciting things coming to Hogsmede this year is a projection show. Hogwarts castle will be lit up with special display just for Christmas.

Universal Studios Hollywood, already has a projection show so it's great that Orlando is getting one too, hopefully it'll be extended beyond the holiday season.
