CPKC Holiday Train is travelling through Ontario and these are the stops across the province

The magical CPKC Holiday Train will illuminate cities, towns and communities all over Canada with festive lights.

A lot of stops are scheduled in Ontario during November and December, so you might be able to see the lit-up train cars where you live.

There are actually two holiday trains, a Canadian train and a U.S. train, but each has a route that spans both countries.

During the 2026 holiday train season, 182 stops are scheduled in both countries, including more than 100 in Canada and 40 in Ontario.

Each train will travel thousands of miles throughout the 32-day journey, so some events will happen during the day.

But the holiday-themed boxcar lights will stay on as the trains travel on the CPKC rail network, even during the day.

All of the CPKC Holiday Train events in Canada are free to attend, but food and monetary donations for local food banks will be accepted at each stop.

The stops in Ontario will also feature musical performances by American Authors, Tyler Shaw, Magic! and MARIS.
