Canada’s magical CP Holiday Train is making its way across the country to BC, and local fans of all ages will soon get to see it in person near Vancouver.
The 26th edition of the Holiday Train is making several highly anticipated stops in Metro Vancouver on Thursday, December 19 and Friday, December 20.
A massive, brightly decorated train will bring holiday cheer to the region while collecting money, food, and awareness for food banks.
One CP Holiday Train travels exclusively through Canada, while the other makes stops in both Canada and the US. The tour will visit over 160 communities during the four-week run.
The magical train will be chugging through 16 communities in BC this month, including Maple Ridge, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, and Port Coquitlam.
Attendees at each CP Holiday Train stop will also enjoy a free and festive concert by Juno winners Magic! and fast-rising star Sofia Camara.
