Visiting Santa has got to be one of the longest-running Christmas traditions. And while the classic holiday activity is great all on its own, we found a place that kicks the festive fun up a notch – and it’s the Santa Pizza Train. Just as the name implies, the annual event combines the magic of visiting Santa with the thrill of a train ride and the tastiness of pizza. Read on for all the details because this is one holiday event you don’t want to miss.
