Family-friendly favorite "The Polar Express," based on the Christmas story by Chris Van Allsburg, will be screened on Thursday, Dec. 10, at 6 p.m.

While the movie is free to attend, you'll still need to reserve a ticket ahead of time.

Also, outside of Philadelphia in Bucks County, there's another holiday event that appeals to fans of the book and movie. The New Hope Railroad offers families a ride on the North Pole express to see Santa, just like in "The Polar Express."
