Our family blogger, Alexandra West of Newport Connext, believes Thanksgiving is such a great time for children to be thankful before the mayhem of lists, toys, and all things Santa-fun, but as The Polar Express is such a popular event and sells out quickly, she wanted to share this post so you can take a ride on the rails!
In a season bustling with family, friends, and giving thanks, comes the timeless delight of many holiday traditions that leave everyone feeling like a kid again. Guess what’s pulling into Newport’s train station this weekend? The Polar Express! Based upon the beloved children’s book about a boy’s journey to the North Pole, The Polar Express train delights children of all young ages with its storytelling, a joyful visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, and tempting trays full of hot cocoa & cookies.
With a majority of the dates already sold out (wait lists are available), this weekend may be the perfect time to start a new family tradition- climbing aboard the magical world of the North Pole before sitting down with loved ones to a meal full of thanks. (After all, children can live gleefully amongst their memories of Santa, snow, and magic all year long!)
So whether you come aboard before “gobbling” up a meal with family, or pile in after, this heartwarming tradition has all children excited about the many illuminating festivities that follow. Snuggly pajama attire encouraged!
