A beloved holiday tradition is rolling back into Milton this month. The CP Holiday Train is set to make a stop in town on Friday, November 20, bringing a brightly lit train, live music and a chance for residents to support local food banks as the holiday season gets underway.

What Happened

According to FM101 Milton Now, the 2026 CP Holiday Train will stop in Milton on the evening of Friday, November 20. The train is expected to arrive at 5 p.m. and depart by about 5:30 p.m., making for a short but festive visit before it continues on to Hamilton later the same evening. Admission is free, and organizers are asking anyone who is able to bring a cash or non-perishable food donation for local food banks.

Key Details

• Date: Friday, November 20, 2026

• Arrival around 5 p.m., departing by about 5:30 p.m.

Community Impact

The Holiday Train travels across the rail network each year, stopping briefly in communities to play short concerts while raising money, food and awareness for local food banks. Collection stations are set up at each stop, and donations stay with the food bank that serves the local community. Organizers note that cash donations can stretch further than food, because food banks are often able to buy supplies at a discount. For Milton families, it is a free and festive way to begin the holidays while helping neighbours in need. Residents are encouraged to arrive early and plan for possible delays.

Background

Milton's Glen Eden has been a regular stop for the Holiday Train over the years, drawing crowds to the Kelso Road site for its light display and live performances each November.
