Happy December! The holiday season is in full swing. Last week, Universal Studios Hollywood kicked off its annual “Grinchmas” holiday event with a few very special guests and causes.
Florence Henderson was honored as the “Who-Manitarian of the Year” Award in support of her charitable work for the City of Hope research and treatment hospital. Best known as “Carol Brady” from the TV classic, “The Brady Bunch,” she is a long-time supporter and advocate for City of Hope, “a recognized world leader in compassionate patient care, innovative medical science and groundbreaking research.”
The Grinch and Max were also on hand, beginning the Grinchmas event in front of an audience from L.A. Family Housing, “a non-profit group dedicated to assisting residents transition out of homelessness and poverty through supportive services and a beneficiary organization of Universal Studios Hollywood’s Discover a Star Foundation.”
The park’s Universal Plaza, “an elaborate grand piazza at the heart of the theme park,” is home to the 60-foot-tall “Grinchmas” tree. Grinch and Max will be nearby for photo opportunities.

The behind-the-scenes Studio Tour will give guests a close-up view of original set pieces from the film, “Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” as well as a performance by a Who’s Who of Who-ville re-enacting scenes and songs from the movie.
“Grinchmas” continues on weekends through December 15, 2013, and then daily from December 20 through December 31, 2013. “Grinchmas” is included in the price of theme park admission.
