Also, at the Universal Orlando theme park, the Macy's Holiday Parade features the same larger-than-life balloons seen in the famous New York City parade. The parade will include all-new Nutcracker and Mouse King "trycaloons" – tandem tricycles that appear to be pedaled by balloon characters from the holiday tale.
Additionally, Christmas music sensation Mannheim Steamroller will return with more performances than ever before. The musical group will perform holiday hits on the Music Plaza stage in Universal Studios eight nights this year - December 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22 and 23.
The holiday events – including the Mannheim Steamroller concerts – are included as part of two-park or multi-day admission to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure and will occur from Dec. 1 to Jan. 1, 2013.
