Oh, what fun it is to ride our Holiday Express Train!

Build a family tradition and create lasting memories your children will treasure forever! Departing from either our scenic Antonito, CO station, or the charm of Chama, the Santa’s Holiday Express Train transforms the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad into a festive journey filled with family fun, laughter, caroling, and cheer.

Escape the frenzy of the season and enjoy uninterrupted, heart-warming time with your loved ones. This 90-minute round-trip adventure glides across beautiful open high-desert scenery dusted with snow, or snowy meadows and pine forests, creating the perfect setting for Santa’s grand arrival!

From the moment you board, our cheerful crew and elves fill the beautifully decorated vintage coaches with songs and joy. You might even catch a special sighting of our beloved Cinder Bear! Then, just as the train steams toward Lava, the magic happens — Santa appears, greeting each child, posing for photos, and reminding everyone that Christmas spirit travels by rail!

Gift your family the magic of the holiday season. Tickets are limited and sell out fast — act now to secure your adventure!

Duration: 1 hour 30 min.
