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.

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.
