Although Fall is still in full swing and Halloween is just upon  us, it is never too early to start planning for great Christmas traditions and once-in-a-lifetime Polar Express train rides! As a popular and magical Christmas experience, many of these limited time only train rides sell out quickly! Be sure to check out the Kansas City Holiday Express that runs through Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas, Missouri, and a few other states. At each of the 27 stops, passengers can hop on to tour the cars, which are decorated to look like a gingerbread house, an elves’ workshop, a reindeer stable, and more of Santa’s favorite hangouts. This free event makes its first stop in Victoria, Texas on November 24. You will also want to check out the Polar Express Train Rides | Cities Across America for the hour-long train rides in over 40 cities across the country and in Canada. Be sure to check militaryliving.com for lodging in the 4o cities along the route of the Polar Express Train Rides and the 27 stops of the Kansas City Holiday Express!

Plus, we have provided nearby lodging for the Christmas trains that depart and return to the same location.
