We’re excited to spread the word about a new family Christmas tradition in the Charlotte area, Train to Christmas Town, leaving on select dates through December 27 from nearby Belmont. This is an actual train ride completely devoted to the Christmas experience, with Santa, elves, cookies, cocoa, Christmas carols and much more. This is a chance to get a picture with Santa without standing in line in a crowded mall.
Read on to learn more about Train to Christmas Town, and also how to get a 25% discount on tickets.
For the first time ever, The Piedmont & Northern Railway brings to life the heartwarming holiday tale of The Train to Christmas Town, departing Belmont for a one-hour roundtrip journey to a very special Christmas destination.
Guests are welcomed by the conductor and invited to board festively-dressed train cars, where they sip hot cocoa and nibble on cookies while listening as The Train To Christmas Town is read aloud by the voice of author, Peggy Ellis. To everyone’s surprise, Janet and her furry friends including Bumblebee the Polar Bear and Wabash the Squirrel, join in for Christmas carols and nonstop surprises on their magical journey. After a 30-minute train ride passengers arrive at a top secret Christmas Town, where Santa climbs onboard and greets every child with holiday cheer, presenting each with a special Christmas gift. The return trip is filled with carols, photos with Santa, dancing elves and unforgettable memories.
The Train to Christmas Town departs select dates November 27 through December 27 this year. Various departure times on both weekdays and weekends with ticket prices beginning as low as $25 for kids and $35 for adults.
