Disclosure: I will receive complimentary tickets for my family and I to experience Candy Cane Express.
Looking for a unique holiday experience for your family? Candy Cane Express is a 50 minute train ride where you get to ride with not only Santa but also his elves to enjoy some holiday festivities! From milk and cookies to carolers singing holiday sounds, it will be a train ride your family will never forget!
I have not yet experienced Candy Cane Express, but I will be boarding the train with my family in just a few weeks. I have read about similar Christmas train rides before and many families make it a tradition. I hope to make Candy Cane Express our holiday tradition!

My kids are still young, so we don’t have a certain holiday tradition yet. My son is 2 this year and it’s my daughter’s first Christmas, so I’m hoping to start creating Holiday traditions and this would be a great tradition to start! =) Thanks for the opportunity! Can’t wait to read your review! (And hope I get to go too! lol)

Our holiday tradition is that we put the tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving. We put Christmas music on and we pull out all of the ornaments and explain each ones importance to our son (who loses interest after a few minutes lol). We also like to drive around and look at Christmas lights.
