On Christmas Eve, we join a young boy aboard the Polar Express. Though he has begun to doubt the existence of Santa Claus, deep down he wishes more than anything to believe.

With hesitation, the boy boards the train at the invitation of a stern conductor. The conductor punches tickets into delicate, perforated letters—unique for each child—which eventually reveal special words of meaning.

They all eventually meet Santa, the elves, and the most incredible reindeer with a brilliance that is unmatched in Christmas history!

Their destination is the North Pole. One of the children is chosen to receive a magnificent silver bell from Santa's own sleigh. It is a wonderful holiday tale filled with excitement and great drama.
