USO Christmas package seemed identical to 2018, the only difference being that the Grinchmas show is in the Blue Man Theatre instead of a soundstage (which is a nice upgrade.) I just finished a trip there yesterday, it was great to end it with a free Mannheim Steamroller Concert (with Chip Davis conducting.)
I mean:

-Christmas at Hogwarts (nighttime spectacular)
-Mannheim Steamroller (nighttime spectacular)*
-Grinchmas (major show)
-Frog Choir (minor show)
-Blues Brothers (minor show)
-Celistina Warbuck (minor show)
-Food Booths
Walt Disney World:
-Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks (nighttime spectacular)**
-Once Upon A Christmas Time Parade (nighttime spectacular)**
-Mickeys Most Merriest (major show)**

-Spaceship Earth (Nighttime Spectacular)
-Holiday Traditions (minor shows)
-Food Booths
*Select Nights only
**Special Ticket Required or be there during peak week
When you compare, Universal gets awfully close to offering as much special holiday magic in the parks as WDW despite only having 2 parks; this is a major change from 10 years ago.
Agree. And like you noted with ** are not offered unless you pay extra or come during the 9 busiest days.
