About this event

✨ All aboard The Christmas Express! 🚂🎄

Inspired by the magic and nostalgia of The Polar Express , join us for an unforgettable evening inside The Color House's historic train station! Come dressed in your coziest Christmas pajamas and step into a night filled with pottery painting, hot cocoa, cookies, silver bells, Santa, and plenty of holiday magic.

Each guest will paint their very own ceramic Christmas mug—a special keepsake to enjoy for hot cocoa on Christmas morning and throughout the holiday season. Choose your colors and create your own festive design, then leave your mug with us to be glazed and fired. All mugs will be ready for pickup before Christmas!

While you paint, visit our hot cocoa bar, enjoy Christmas cookies, and take in the cozy holiday atmosphere as our historic train station is transformed for this special evening. And in true Christmas train tradition, guests will receive a keepsake silver bell to take home. 🔔✨

Then, during the final hour of our journey, we'll welcome a very special visitor... Santa! 🎅 Santa will visit with the children, pose for photos, and give each child a small Christmas surprise.
