Christmas Train Ride Locations (2026): A Complete Guide
Last revised: September 15, 2026
By: Adam Burns
Christmas trains are Santa, North Pole Express, Holiday Express, and Christmas with the Clauses rides on tourist railroads and museums. Families board a real train, meet Santa, and ride for an hour or so. Many sell out. This directory is the 2026 map: state guides first, then railroad pages for dates and classes. American-Rails.com does not sell tickets. Confirm times and prices on the railroad’s own site before you book.
Licensed THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride events—the Rail Events production of Chris Van Allsburg’s book and the Warner Bros. film—are a different product. Those belong on the Polar Express hub. A North Pole Express or Santa train can be wonderful. It is not Polar Express unless that railroad is on the Polar list.

What a Christmas train is
Most Christmas trains are a railroad’s own holiday show. You may wear pajamas. Elves and carolers work the aisle. Santa boards or waits at a North Pole stop. Cocoa and cookies are common. Steam is a bonus when that railroad has it for that date—not a promise. Rides run about 45 minutes to two hours. A few (Owosso, Parrish) are much longer evenings.
The 2004 Polar Express film sent holiday trains into the mainstream. Railroads that did not take the Rail Events license built their own products instead: North Pole Adventure, Santa’s North Pole Express, Christmas City Express, Santa’s Paradise Express. Those names are the operator’s. Use them. Do not call the ride Polar Express unless it is the licensed show.
Christmas trains vs Polar Express
Buy Polar tickets on the Polar booking page for that railroad. Buy a Christmas train on that railroad’s Santa or North Pole page. A daytime scenic ticket in December is a third product.
Examples on this hub that are not Polar Express:
- Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad North Pole Adventure (Ohio)—CVSR dropped the Polar license in 2021
- Grapevine Vintage Railroad Santa’s North Pole Express (Texas)
- Steam Railroading Institute North Pole Express behind Pere Marquette 2-8-4 #1225 (Michigan). The film used #1225. That does not make Owosso Polar Express
- Strasburg Rail Road Santa’s Paradise Express (Pennsylvania)
- Heber Valley Railroad North Pole Express (Utah)
- Florida Railroad Museum North Pole Express (Parrish)
- Nevada Northern Santa’s Reindeer Flyer (Ely)
- Mount Rainier Scenic Christmas with the Clauses (Elbe, Washington)

How to use these pages
- State guide — which Christmas trains are in that state, with a short Polar reminder if the state also has a licensed Polar host.
- Railroad page — dates, classes, duration, and the operator link. Product URLs often end in
-npe26.htmlor keep an older live slug (Strasburg is strasburgxmastrains.html). - The railroad’s own ticket page — the only place to buy.
Indiana’s Whitewater Valley is not listed for rides after the August 13, 2026, flood. Midland Railway’s Snowglobe Express in Baldwin City, Kansas, is dead; Kansas Christmas is Abilene’s Cowtown Santa Express (Ottawa Northern’s Santa Rocket needs a 2026 confirm).

States without a 2026 Christmas page
No Christmas-train hub is published here for Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, or Wyoming. If a tourist railroad posts a 2026 Santa or North Pole train, tell us.
Delaware has no 2026 Christmas hub on this site until a host is confirmed. Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Rhode Island have licensed Polar Express rides—use the Polar hub, not this directory.
Planning tips
- Peak weekends and first-class seats sell out. Several 2026 sales are already open.
- Buy the named Christmas product, not a regular scenic ticket for the same weekend.
- Pajamas are welcome on many trains. Bring a coat for the platform.
- Arrive as early as that railroad asks—often 30–60 minutes before departure.
- Steam is a bonus. Read the ticket listing.
- Do not book Whitewater Valley. Do not look for Midland Snowglobe Express.
- If you want the golden ticket and the silver bell, you want Polar Express.
