Join us for an enchanting nighttime journey!
Last year Santa faced a candy crisis! The sweet toothed elves at the North Pole couldn’t resist eating almost all of it. So, this year Santa has enlisted the help of Waterloo Central Railway and some very industrious snowmen to ensure there is enough candy this season for all to enjoy!
Join us for an enchanting nighttime journey as we transport batches of yummy Christmas candy to Santa’s Candy Crossing! This fully immersive holiday production full of entertainment, music, and merriment is one you don’t want to miss! Be a part of the magic that helps Santa, and the snowmen prepare for his busiest night of the year….
