From the end of January through the end of December, Universal Orlando always has something going on, starting with the Christian music rockfest Rock the Universe and ending, obviously, with a hard-charging New Year’s celebration – with, of course, the likes of Halloween Horror Nights and Christmas at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter landing somewhere in the middle.
