It will give children a magical ride to the North Pole. The 60-minute train ride will be Christmas themed, providing passengers hot chocolate and treats along with reading a classic children's book, "The Polar Express," written by Chris Van Allsburg.

Don't forget Santa and his helpers!

Santa and his elves will greet passengers as they board the train, where every child will be gifted a silver sleigh bell.

A chef, who will be leading each car, will lead passengers in singing Christmas carols as the train heads back to the museum.
