The beloved CPKC Holiday Train, which annually features live music and food donations to benefit charities, returns to Montreal and the surrounding area in November.

The train, which began operating in 1999, is known for its Christmas lights and decorations, with one of the carriages being transformed into a stage for performing artists. At each stop, there is a 30-minute performance for visitors, and people are encouraged to bring cash or non-perishable food donations for food banks.
