Universal's Holiday Experience featuring Macy's Balloons was a holiday-themed walkthrough experience held at Universal Orlando Resort during the 2020 holiday season.

History[]
Universal's Holiday Experience Featuring Macy's Balloons took place between November 14th, 2020 and January 3rd, 2021 at Universal Studios Florida at the Universal Orlando Resort. The exhibit was created in lieu of the Universal's Holiday Parade Featuring Macy's, which was cancelled in order to promote social distancing due to the 2019-20 COVID-19 pandemic.
The festive walk-through experience allows park guests to get closer than ever to larger-than-life Macy's balloons and colorful Christmas floats, including giant character helium balloons from Shrek and Madagascar, along with the Minions from Illumination’s Despicable Me. Rounding out the attraction is a socially-distanced photo op with Jolly Old St. Nick himself.
