The Wagon Ride Journey

A Horse-Drawn Adventure Through the North Pole Village

Santa and the Perilous Christmas Eve

Climb aboard a horse-drawn wagon and journey through the Mistletoe Farm Christmas Village. Over roughly 20 magical minutes, you’ll hear the story of Santa and the Perilous Christmas Eve — Kristine Shaw’s beloved tale brought to life with music, lights, and intricate handcrafted dioramas along the trail.

Our wagons are operated in partnership with Ole Covered Wagon Tours, led by Brad Confer. Departure times for each evening are listed on the tickets page. Whether you’re a returning guest or joining the adventure for the first time, this is a ride your family will never forget.

What to Expect

Horse-Drawn Wagons

Ride aboard DONNER or BLITZEN — our two wagons operated by Brad Confer of Ole Covered Wagon Tours. Seating is limited, so we strongly recommend reserving in advance.

A Story Comes Alive

As the wagon rolls through the village, the story of “Santa and the Perilous Christmas Eve” unfolds all around you — with lifelike scenes of elves, Santa, and Mrs. Claus along the route.

Caroling Under the Stars

The journey isn’t just about watching — it’s about being part of the story. Join fellow guests in singing a carol or two as you ride through the night. It’s Christmas the way it should be.
