As the Conductor calls “All Aboard,” the round-trip journey to the North Pole begins! Everyone is also encouraged to wear pajamas for the trip and the magical story. Along with the soundtrack from the motion picture, the mood is re-created into some of the events from the classic book. It’s a fun time for all as the train whisks families off to the North Pole.
Once at the North Pole, the children are then greeted by Santa himself! Watch as the children’s faces light up with joy, and other characters from the book make an appearance. Enjoy Christmas caroling, hot chocolate, and treats as Santa and one of his elves climb aboard the train. As Santa greets every child, he presents them with their very own silver sleigh bell! From the inspiring book, the bell is given to those who truly believe.
