The holiday season is sneaking up on us and if you’re ready to dive head-first into all things festive, you can board one of the many holiday train rides near Toronto this November and December.
York-Durham Heritage Railway has filled its schedule with all kinds of Christmas-themed train rides and passengers of all ages are in for a treat.
Among the most popular ones is The North Pole Light UP Express, which runs on several dates throughout the holiday season.
The night begins with a Christmas tree lighting, followed by chocolate milk and cookies on board with Mrs. Claus and Santa’s helpers as you journey to the North Pole. Plus, you get to dress in your PJs!
