CAPTURE THE HOLIDAY MAGIC ONE LAST TIME: JANUARY CHRISTMAS DINNER TRAIN JOURNEYS
January’s Last Taste of Christmas on the Rails
As the holiday lights are carefully packed away and the world sets its sights on a promising New Year, it’s natural to feel a tinge of longing for that cozy Christmas atmosphere. Perhaps your December schedule was too full, and you missed out on festive activities. Or maybe you’re someone who loves the holiday season so much that letting it go feels like saying goodbye to a dear friend. Whichever the case, the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum has a remedy for those post-holiday blues: two exclusive January dates (January 3 and January 4) have been added to our beloved Christmas Special Dinner Train schedule.
These special January departures are your opportunity to capture the lingering glow of the holidays. Stepping aboard this lovingly restored train, you’ll find that the holiday décor, warm welcomes, and sparkling ambiance remain intact. Even as the calendar turns, you have a chance to revisit the enchanting spirit that makes the Christmas Special Dinner Train a cherished experience. With a seasonal menu carefully curated to offer comfort and delight, each bite and sip rekindles the joy and wonder of the holidays.
A Dining Experience to Remember:
On these January excursions, guests can choose from four enticing entrée options to please every palate:
- Pan-seared Airline Chicken: A succulent dish complemented by parmesan sauce, paired with sautéed green beans and garlic herb mashed potatoes.
- Burgundy Braised Beef: Tender beef in a rich mushroom demi-glace, served alongside sautéed green beans and garlic herb mashed potatoes for a hearty winter indulgence.
- Southern Shrimp and Grits: A regional favorite elevated with an andouille tomato cream, celebrating comforting Southern flavors.
- Vegetarian Zucchini Lasagna: A layered delight that proves a plant-based entrée can be just as satisfying and flavorful as any classic dish.
With beverages like water, coffee, lemonade, and iced tea included, as well as additional drink options like wine, champagne, bourbon, and Irish coffee available for purchase, you can tailor your dining experience to match the mood of the season. Cap off your meal with a dessert selected from our ever-changing seasonal menu, ensuring a sweet finale to your journey.
Why Extend the Holiday Charm into January?
Not everyone’s schedule aligns perfectly with December’s festivities. The New Year brings a fresh perspective, but it doesn’t have to mean completely leaving behind the comfort and warmth of the holiday season. Our January Christmas Special Dinner Train allows you to embrace that transitional period between the twinkle of holiday lights and the crisp promise of a brand-new year.
Beyond the culinary delights, there is the subtle pleasure of classic rail travel. The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum preserves the legacy of America’s great railway era, offering a glimpse into a mode of transportation that once defined an age of exploration. We reference this cultural and historical significance sparingly, ensuring you appreciate the authenticity and care that goes into maintaining this tradition without overshadowing the primary reason you’re here: to immerse yourself in the waning holiday magic.
