The Polar Express comes to life when the train DEPARTS for a JOURNEY through the dark and quiet WILDERNESS for a special visit to the "North Pole."
This is the story of a young hero boy on Christmas Eve who boards on a powerful magical train that's headed to the North Pole and Santa Claus's home. What UNFOLDS is an adventure which follows a DOUBTING boy, who takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole; during this ride, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery which shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.
Now children in Arizona, USA have the opportunity to ride the Polar Express for real - on Christmas Eve this holiday season!!
DEBATE
- Do you think this wonderful idea would work in other countries?
- Would you be as excited to ride the Polar Express and see Santa as much
as your children?
- What is your favourite Christmas tradition?
