Let Your Kids Wear Their Christmas Best

What kind of outfits do your kids like to wear on Christmas? Pajamas, of course! Kids are encouraged to don their favorite PJs for the trip to see Santa. Pick out some pajamas with reindeer and Santa Claus to make the event more festive. Bring a jacket along too, since it can get a little chilly at the North Pole.

Upgrade to First Class

Have you ever flown first class? It’s quite an experience. You can also have a first-rate first-class experience on the Polar Express. Imagine the delight on your children’s faces when they get their own Polar Express mug, hot chocolate, and cookies, all to be enjoyed while relaxing in tabletop seating. Your kids will definitely feel the magic of the Polar Express as they fly through Texas on their way to the North Pole.
