Find magic in memories that will last a lifetime with a holiday tradition that is fun for the whole family.
Trip Information
Step into a dazzling holiday wonderland aboard the newly reimagined Magical Christmas Train – where every moment shimmers, sparkles, and jingles with festive cheer!
As the train departs, Santa’s elves fill each car with laughter and song, helping little ones craft their letters to Santa. Then, the moment everyone waits for… Santa himself arrives on board to greet each family, listen to holiday wishes, and share a photo together!
Outside your window, the wonder continues to unfold as you journey straight to the heart of Christmas: Santa’s Village!
Step off the train and into a storybook scene of snow-dusted streets and festive decor. Explore the village, capture photo keepsakes, and make memories one Christmas wish at a time. See you on board!
Don’t miss out on the holiday magic—book your tickets now and make this Christmas season truly unforgettable!

We went on the Magical Christmas Train and it was the best holiday train we have tried. It was worth the drive from the Bay Area and we will return next year.
