Book your family on the hourlong “Polar Express” train ride at the Southern California Railway Museum in Perris, about 20 miles north of Temecula. Get ready for hot chocolate, shortbread, caroling, dancing chefs, an appearance by Santa and a reading from the original “Polar Express,” a 1985 children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg (which inspired the 2004 film starring Tom Hanks).
