This holiday season is about to get even more magical as the West Coast Express Santa Train returns to the rails for one festive weekend.

On Saturday, December 3 and Sunday, December 4, the West Coast Express Santa Train welcomes riders from Mission City Station to Waterfront Station, and back again. The cost of admission is a new, unwrapped toy — collected for various Christmas bureaus throughout the communities served by the West Coast Express. Toy donations will be exchanged for a DayPass that riders can then use to explore Vancouver, complete their holiday shopping, or visit a local Christmas market.

Plan to visit with Mr. & Mrs. Claus who will be available for photos at Waterfront Station from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on both days. Enjoy live, festive caroling by the Vancouver DPAC Extracurricular Choral Music Program, and an appearance from Holly & Jolly of the Vancouver Christmas Market.
