Arriving at Grinchmas at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Do you love Universal Studios Hollywood? How about The Grinch Who Stole Christmas? Through December 31st, 2012, Universal Studios Hollywood will be celebrating Grinchmas! I was fortunate to attend a media event where the Grinch and Max the Dog presented Betty White with the “Who-Manitarian of the Year” Award as Universal Studios Hollywood was preparing to ring in snow filled days of “Grinchmas” with tons of real snow, celebrity tree lightings and Who-liday cheer.

Ms. White’s tireless efforts on behalf of animals was recognized with the “Who-Manitarian of the Year” Award presented by Max, the Grinch’s loveable canine sidekick. Max is played by local rescue dogs throughout the nightly run of the “Grinchmas” show.
“Grinchmas” goes through December 31st, 2012 and is included in the price of admission. This family-friendly celebration rings in a jolly Who-liday season with the Grinch, his faithful dog Max, tons of fresh snow, and celebrity readings of the Dr. Seuss classic, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” as part of the vibrant tree lighting celebration. Displayed is a whimsical, curving “Grinchmas” tree that towers 60 feet above the center of a snow-covered winter wonderland and will be lit in nightly ceremonies that will feature a colorfully costumed Who-ville choir, caroling and spreading holiday cheer in enchanting Whobilation performances. Celebrities that will be reading through the end of the celebration include Chris Gorham (“Covert Affairs”) on December 25th and Dot Marie Jones (“Glee”) on December 31st.
Throughout the event, The Grinch, Max and the Who-ville Whos will be on hand and paw to meet fans and take memorable holiday photos, while families gather to enjoy traditional winter fun, romping together in a playground of fresh, real snow.
