Disclosure: I was given tickets for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
It is that time of year again when the Irvine Park Railroad decks the train and
Santa arrives for the 18th annual Christmas Train!!!!
There is something special about twinkle lights, trees, and a train that takes you to Santa.
It makes me feel like I am a kid riding on the Polar Express.
It's just magical!
It's just magical!
And the Christmas Train isn't just for Christmas adoring adults, the kids love it too!
We love having this Christmas tradition with the kids and I love to see how excited they are to visit with Santa and share their Christmas wishes.

Some helpful tips you'll want to remember when coming to ride the Christmas Train:
- BUY YOUR TICKETS ONLINE! This is the only way to purchase tickets this year. It's a new policy, so be sure you purchase ahead of time ONLINE and don't show up empty handed.
- Bring your camera. There are so many photo opps! You get to take pictures with Santa and you can take your own or purchase the photo taken by the Irvine Park Railroad Staff.
- Dress warmly! It can get chilly and the North Pole and you don't want to be left shivering. So be sure to dress in layers and don't forget a your scarf.
- Arrive early so you can avoid the crowds and have plenty of time for fun!

One of my favorite parts of the evening is the twinkle lights tunnel.
It is so cool! I could drive through it over and over again.
My friend Kara Noel's husband snapped this picture of Isabella and I riding
through the tunnel at lightning speed last year!
Remember to bring your camera to snap pictures and jackets to keep warm.
And because the people at the Irvine Park Railroad are so awesome,
they are giving me a Christmas Train prize package for me to giveaway to one of my readers!

No, but it would be so fun to watch my kids enjoy it!
We have not ridden it. I look forward to seeing the wonder in my boys' eyes.

I have never ridden the Christmas train. I know...totally deprived. If I win, I'm most looking forward to seeing the huge smile on my Little Duder's face. He loves everything trains and Christmas.
I have never been, but would love to go with my family! I think my son would enjoy seeing Santa, I would enjoy seeing all the lights and sights
We've never been for the Christmas train. My son loves trains and Santa. It' same win-win! :)
We've never been but my girls love trains and lights and that tunnel all lit up looks awesome! Oh yeah, they want to see the big jolly fat guy and his sweet wife too! :-)
We've never been but my girls love trains and they love Santa. That tunnel looks so cool! Thanks for the giveaway, Kyla!
We haven't been on the Christmas Train, but we went to the pumpkin patch and it was so fun!
We've never been but we are looking forward to riding the train and meeting Santa!
