Artificial snow falling on the plaza at Universal Studios, which is all lit up for Christmas. Lots of people are standing around, taking photos

The Grinch made it snow by liking Christmas

Universal Tower

A big curvy Dr. Seuss Christmas tree on stage in front of a Whoville façade. Some Whos and The Grinch are on stage in front of it, and there's a big crowd between them and us

The Whoville tree lighting was cute

Universal Tower

A sign standing at the entrance to Transformers: The Ride. It features Curious George with a yellow umbrella and reads "Come on in, it's dry inside!"

Never seen these. Luckily it wasn’t raining much

A peek at the entrance to Super Nintendo Land through a fence. The green warp pipe is lit up on the inside with colorful lights.

Super Nintendo Land opens soon I guess!

A package for a six-foot-tall inflatable “Long-Haired Hound.” It's wearing a sweater and long cap, its tongue is out, and its fur covers its eyes. Cute.

Sunglasses in the shape of Gudetama, the Sanrio character that is a fried egg. The lenses are the egg shell and Gudetama sits on your forehead.
