An Essential Part of the Experience
Pyjamas are an essential part of the Polar Express experience. Every year, millions of people around the world slip into their pyjamas and board the Polar Express for a magical night of fun and adventure.
Pyjamas in the Story and Film
The Polar Express is a classic holiday tale about a young boy’s, and other children’s, magical train ride to the North Pole. In the story, all the children are wearing their pyjamas when they board the train, as it meets them outside their houses on Christmas eve.
Pyjamas in the Movie
In the movie adaptation, all of the characters are wearing festive pyjamas that range from traditional red and green plaid to more unique styles featuring Santas, snowflakes, and reindeer.
A Tradition Since 1985
The tradition of wearing pyjamas on the Polar Express is one that has been around since the book was first published in 1985. It has become a beloved holiday tradition for many families, who now don their festive pyjamas each year before boarding the train for a magical night of fun.
Pyjamas at Churnet Valley Railway
Many theme parks and attractions, including us here at Churnet Valley Railway, have also embraced the pyjama-wearing tradition, offering our guests the chance to wear their pyjamas on our very own Polar Express.
Staying Warm and Cozy
This is a great way for families to get into the holiday spirit and add a little bit of extra magic to the experience. Additionally, pyjamas are a great way to stay warm on a cold winter night. Even in the summer, the temperatures can drop to freezing levels on some Polar Express rides, so wearing pyjamas is a great way to stay cozy and comfortable while enjoying the ride.
Wrapping Up the Tradition
Overall, pyjamas are an essential part of the Polar Express experience. From the classic holiday tale to theme park rides, pyjamas offer a unique way to get into the holiday spirit, stay warm, and make the experience even more memorable. So don’t forget to bring your pyjamas when you board the Polar Express this year!
