Passengers board beautifully preserved vintage passenger railcars adorned with festive garlands and sparkling lights, pulled by historic locomotives. As the train rolls across the scenic desert landscape under starlit winter skies, friendly elves lead passengers in classic Christmas carol sing-alongs, share holiday stories, and serve warm hot chocolate and fresh holiday cookies.
