The holidays are just around the corner, and that means that special events celebrating them are now starting to operate all parks over the country.  New this year is the first ever Christmas celebration inside The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida.

However, the main attraction of the celebration is undoubtedly The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle, which (seen above) brings the massive Hogwarts Castle to life several times each evening.

The brand new projection mapping show literally takes place on the facade of the castle, featuring "festive décor, candlelight and moments inspired by the films."  The show, which according to its developers features "ghosts of Hogwarts singing carols, students riding broomsticks and creating snowmen, a moment inspired by the Yule Ball and many more surprises," is premiering this weekend to park visitors.

If you can't make it in person, many videos of the show have already popped up online, so if you want to check it out here is one from Attractions Magazine.  Make sure to watch in high definition.


Other holiday special events include decorations throughout and new live entertainment in both Harry Potter themed areas.  Within the Wizarding World of Harry Potter the Frog Choir has several new holiday themed songs that will be performed.  Over in Diagon Alley Celestina Warbeck has cooked up four new songs, such as "Nothing like a holiday spell" and "My baby gave me a Hippogriff for Christmas."
