AE Texas Returns to the North Pole Express

AE Texas, a well-regarded name in energy solutions, is delighted to announce its return as a co-sponsor of the magical Santa's North Pole Express for the second year in a row. This beloved holiday event takes place in Grapevine, Texas, famously designated as the Christmas Capital of Texas®. The North Pole Express serves as a centerpiece of the area’s extensive holiday celebrations which include over 1,400 festive events spanning 40 days.

As a part of Atlantic Energy, AE Texas has been providing reliable electricity and natural gas to both residential and commercial clients all over the Lone Star State. This partnership reflects AE Texas's commitment to fostering community spirit and family memories during the holiday season. After an exhilarating inaugural event last year, AE Texas will team up once again with Great Wolf Lodge to spread cheer and holiday magic.

Tickets for the North Pole Express will go on sale to the public on October 1, 2026, with rides scheduled to commence on November 27 and continuing through December 30, 2026. Tickets can be conveniently purchased through the official website at ChristmasCapitalofTexas.com.

Riders will be treated to a festive experience aboard the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, utilizing luxurious coaches dating back to the 1920s. Passengers can expect to enjoy lively Christmas sing-alongs led by jovial elves, in addition to special interactions with Santa himself. As a generous gesture, AE Texas will once again sponsor photographs with Santa, creating memorable keepsakes for the families attending.

Emily Pittman, Marketing Manager of Atlantic Energy, expressed enthusiasm about the event: "We are thrilled to be part of such a cherished Texas tradition once more. At AE Texas, we take pride in empowering families and contributing to experiences that matter, from providing energy to homes to sparking joyful moments during the holiday season. We eagerly anticipate the second year of Santa's North Pole Express, and we are committed to creating lasting memories for families during this magical time."
