CP Holiday Train returns to North Dakota


MINOTT, ND (KMOT) — The cold didn’t stop North Dakota residents from heading out on Saturday to enjoy the return of the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train!

The train stopped in Minot around 6:30 p.m. to bring in some holiday musical entertainment from Alan Doyle and Kelly Prescott.

Santa Claus even appeared as himself, took pictures with fans, and even joined the musicians on stage.

“It’s so nice that the people of Minot come here, socialize in this warm, healthy climate, and just enjoy the holidays together,” Santa said to your newsboy.

As part of the event, the Minot Area Homeless Coalition raised non-perishable donations for families in need, and Canadian Pacific donated $7,000 to the coalition.

The train also visited Carrington, Harvey and Kenmare on Saturday.
