The festive CPKC Holiday Train is travelling through Ontario and these are all stops

The CPKC Holiday Train is travelling across Canada this holiday season.

There are stops in Ontario, so here's what you need to know about when and where you can see the festive lights and musical performances.

In 2025, the CPKC Holiday Train will visit cities, towns and communities in Canada and the U.S. during November and December.

There are actually two trains — one that only travels through Canada and one that travels through Canada and the U.S. — so even more communities can experience the festivities.

It's also meant to raise food, money and awareness for local food pantry organizations and food banks.

All of the Holiday Train events are free, but you're being asked to bring a food or monetary donation for your local food bank if you can.

Since the CPKC Holiday Train is stopping at almost 200 locations this year, events will take place at night and during the day.

Even when the train is travelling during the day, the festive lights will stay on across the CPKC track network in Canada.

If you've never seen the Holiday Train, it pulls into the stop with the lights on and the door on one of the train cars is lowered.

Then, musicians play holiday songs and some of their original songs.

After the final song, the boxcar door closes, and the train pulls out of the stop to travel to the next destination.

The CPKC Holiday Train route for 2025 includes 39 stops in Ontario!
