From the moment you step into the glowing carriages, you’ll be wrapped in a vibrant light and sound display. Thousands of synchronised LED lights – both inside and out – create a dynamic, ever-changing show that surrounds you in colour and rhythm. This year, the magic goes even further…

?Enjoy a reimagined experience with live entertainers onboard, delivering festive fun, music, and magical moments throughout your journey.

?Famous for Britain’s Got Talent and X-Factor, ‘Voiceover Man’ returns as your charismatic host – guiding the journey with warmth, wit, and his signature humour.

?At the summit of your journey, be mesmerised by the newly upgraded Snow Cascade – a delightful display, now extended for even more wonder.

?Enjoy festive treats, snacks, and drinks from our NEW trolley service, available throughout the journey to keep the celebrations going.

?NEW light projections on station buildings at Alresford guide you to the beginning of your magical journey. The beloved Talking and Singing Trees are back with a brand-new twist! Wander through the Christmas Courtyard and see what treats are in store in each chalet.

?Christmas Vibes Until 28 December
Before Christmas, the train is filled with holiday spirit and classic festive hits to get the whole carriage in the festive mood.

?Pop Anthems Experience from 29 December - 4 January
After Christmas, keep the party going! The Pop Anthems Edition takes over with a soundtrack of iconic hits from the 60s to today – Queen, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and more – all perfectly synced with your interactive LED wristbands. It’s a dance party like no other!

Trains depart from either Alresford or Alton and return to your starting station. The full experience lasts approximately 1 hour 45 minutes, so allow 2 hours for your festive adventure.

Your led wristband - a keepsake from the experience
Each ticket includes an LED wristband that lights up in sync with the show – and it’s yours to take home!
