Santa on the Rail of Lights Train

1.    A ride through the Bayou forest on the Christmas Express Christmas Train is an adventure sure to please even the most skeptic person. You will leave with a smile on your face and joy in your heart.
2.    Stroll through the Enchanted Forest. There you will see all the Christmas Trees decorated by the businesses and families from in and around Jefferson.

3.    Ride through the old neighborhoods on one of the decked out horse-drawn carriages. Cuddle up and enjoy the romance and clippity cloppity sounds of hooves on the street.

4.    Visit one of the three homes that are open for tours year round. I’d bet they are all decorated for the Holidays. Make sure to call and make an appointment to be sure they are open and hours.
