Every year, New Jersey's railroads get decked out in their holiday best to offer special Christmas trains in New Jersey for the whole family. We know it's a bit early to start hauling out the holly, but these Polar Express and trains are a popular holiday tradition, and they sell out fast! 

Though these Christmas trains don't go all the way to the North Pole, most include a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with treats, caroling, movies, and stories. We've even included a trolley ride hosted by Mrs. Claus herself.

Read on to find out where to take a Christmas train ride with Santa, and book your tickets as soon as possible. Then, you can put Christmas aside for a while and get back to your fall fun.
