Mrs. Claus eagerly listens to every child’s wish list, promising to fill Saint Nick in on their requests. Watching how their eyes sparkle as the North Pole’s headmistress walks by is a memory you’ll cherish forever.

Santa himself also visits each train car to read the Christmas lists of all the little girls and boys. He’ll check them twice, pose for photographs, and hand out a gift to every wide-eyed tot on board.
