The holiday season is in full swing – and The Grinch has made his annual return to Universal Studios Hollywood!
Whoville reopened to Universal Studios ticket holders on November 24 and is running through January 4, 2026. Visitors can now explore Whoville, see the 65-foot topsy-turvy holiday tree, and even have meet and greets with The Grinch, Cindy-Lou-Who, Martha May Who-vier, the Mayor of Who-ville, and even Max.
But even The Grinch hates L.A. traffic. Secret Los Angeles caught up with The Grinch and asked him to choose the worst freeway in the city – and his answer probably won’t surprise you.
“405,” he says. “Everybody that is from this area has told me that the 405 is terrible. Slow drivers, and don’t get me started with those Prius drivers that are becoming Tesla drivers. Nobody likes ’em.”
Other Whoville attractions include the Who-bilation, a story time by Cindy, an ornament-making station, exclusive merch, and a selection of treats and beverages.
