The Branson Scenic Railway transforms into a holiday wonderland during the Christmas season with their beloved Polar Express-style excursion. Families board vintage 1940s and 1950s rail cars decorated for the holiday season while costumed conductors read The Polar Express aloud, children receive their golden tickets, and hot cocoa and cookies are served. The nighttime departure through the illuminated Ozarks countryside adds magic to what is already a wonderfully immersive family experience. Book tickets well in advance — this sells out every year.
