The Napa Valley Wine Train is combining two of our favorite things this season: wine and Christmas. The company is bringing back its Santa Trains this year, which reminds us of a real-life version of the Polar Express*.
Starting November 19, guests who board the train will be in for "an interactive musical adventure in an elegant, nostalgic setting." The normally 21+ experience will be transformed into a family-friendly train ride that'll take children on a journey to the "North Pole" as they cozy up to Santa Claus and help out his magical elves. Once the final destination is reached, the children will be given a toy Jolly Bear ornament as a special thank you for their help.
Guests on the train will even get to enjoy holiday staples like hot cocoa and freshly baked cookies all while partaking in games, sing-alongs, and meet-ups with the train's "fun cast of holiday-inspired characters."
And what makes it even better is that it's all happening for a good cause. The Napa Valley Wine Train partnered with the Ticket to Dream Foundation in a move that will allow hundreds of foster children to take a ride on the train free of charge.
"The Santa Train is a special experience that allows children and families to enjoy the holiday season together in a unique way," Scott Goldie, co-CEO and partner of the Napa Valley Wine Train said in a release. "We're thrilled to add more interactive features to this iconic journey and invite local foster children to join us through our partnership with Ticket to Dream Foundation."
The Santa Trains will be operating up until December 28, but will be closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
