CP Rail Holiday Train Dates 2023

Don't miss one of the most festive events of the holiday season—here are the 14 CP Rail Holiday Train dates and locations for Northern Ontario!

It’s that time of year! Northern Ontario's beloved Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Holiday Train is making its way around the province once again. The holiday train is a spectacle that graces 14 cities and towns in the region, gifting residents with the prettiest holiday-themed photo ops thanks to its bright festive lights plus a live show with artists singing your favourite holiday tunes. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come out, get together, sing, and have some fun!

At most stops, the holiday train is complete with people pouring delicious hot chocolate to keep your spirit warm along with a massive food drive. So, if you’re planning on heading out to your town or city’s holiday train location, make sure you bring canned goods and non-perishables.
