Krampus & Kin returns to Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas from November 19, 2026, through January 10, 2027.
The holiday overlay reaches the warehouse’s common areas while leaving the four haunted houses unchanged. Krampus leads a larger cast of monsters drawn from European winter folklore, and familiar Universal Horror Unleashed characters get holiday looks of their own.
Krampus brings more winter monsters
The 2026 lineup includes the giant Gryla, the skeletal horse Mari Lwyd, the goblin-like Kallikantzaroi, Hans Trapp and the witch Frau Perchta. A grand character processional will run several times each night and finish with a tree-lighting ceremony.
Three other areas get their own seasonal scenes. Frost Bite adds the Vampire Frost Stalker and Vampire Frost Guard, both new for 2026. Kill Vault Video becomes a bleak holiday video store, while Home for the Horrordays turns The Boiler into a Christmas morning gone wrong.
Krampus Haus serves four-bite dining passes
Krampus Haus returns to Jack’s Alley as a pop-up beer garden. Its dining pass covers four bites from four food stalls. Guests can pick one item from each stall or repeat a favorite.
The menu includes the Chains of Krampus Bavarian pretzel, cranberry-glazed Naughty Naughty chicken drum pops, the Feast of Holy Innards Feuerwurst sausage and Perchta’s Pie, a fried apple turnover. Drinks include Devil’s Blood, Krampus Punch, a Shot Ski and the nonalcoholic Nice List.
