All Aboard the Children's Christmas Express!
Spice up your holiday family traditions with a festive evening on the Columbia Star Dinner Train's Children's Christmas Express. For a second year in a row, David Tenny of the Columbia Star Dinner Train invites children of all ages to believe in the wonder and magic of Christmas the first three weeks in December. Families will enjoy a chorus of Christmas carols lead by Mrs. Claus herself, fruit, cookies, pound cake and hot chocolate as they make their way to Hallsville to pick up old Saint Nick on a vintage 1950s locomotive. Every child will receive a gift bag filled with holiday goodies and get to sit on Santa's lap to personally deliver their Christmas "wish list." The Children's Christmas Express will be winding through the Missouri countryside for two-hour holiday excursions Mondays through Thursdays, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., beginning December 3 and concluding December 20. Tickets for the Express are $28 for kids and $52 for adults. The Christmas Express will sell out fast, so make your reservations today. For a complete Christmas Express schedule, and to reserve your family's spot for what could become a new Christmas tradition, visit www.DinnerTrain.com or call 573-474-2223.
