As the train comes closer to its destination at the North Pole, Mrs. Claus makes an appearance and offers a gift to each child rider – a “We Believe” silver Santa bell. Upon arrival at the North Pole, guests walk through a snowy Christmas Tree forest entertained by Christmas music and magical moments before the appearance of Santa Claus himself! He wishes all a Merry Christmas and then gives all the children some Frosty Chocolate Snow Milk in a memory mug keepsake. During the trip, families will also be given a voucher for a free family photo with Santa!
