Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida, and Hollywood, California are ringing in “butterbeer season!”
Earlier this week, the theme park destination announced that it is offering guests the chance to enjoy Butterbeer in “whole new ways” starting March 15 and running through April 30, 2024.
Butterbeer, which is described as having a “taste reminiscent of butterscotch and shortbread,” already comes in a variety of options, including cold, frozen, hot and non-dairy.
Universal also serves Butterbeer fudge, cream and ice cream.
