This year’s celebration at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort will introduce an all-new Butterbeer Cream Puff just for the season, available at the Three Broomsticks™, where guests can also savor frozen or cold Butterbeer in a limited-edition Gold Souvenir Stein. Additionally, a Butterbeer-Flavoured Chocolate Bar and Butterbeer Caramel will be available at retail locations, and the Ice Lolly frozen dessert makes a delicious return. This tempting ice bar will now be available year-round.
A bespoke Butterbeer-themed merchandise collection will also take centerstage as part of Butterbeer Season. The inspiring line is designed to offer wizards, witches, and muggles a chance to celebrate Butterbeer during and beyond their visit to the theme parks. Items will include apparel such as a plaid shirt, zipped fleece hoodie, and t-shirt as well as accessories from a crossbody bag to caps, socks, and more.
Butterbeer season at Universal Orlando Resort will occur at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade™ at Universal Islands of Adventure and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley™ at Universal Studios Florida. Visit www.UniversalOrlando.com for more information.
