Holiday Train Steaming Through Minnesota and Iowa

Calling all holiday lovers, this is something you don't want to miss! The CPKC Holiday Train is touring the U.S. and Canada through December 19. It is making a lot of stops in Minnesota and Iowa.

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train has been raising money and awareness for food banks at every stop they make. Since 1999 the train has raised more than $22.5 million and more than 5 million pounds of food for community food banks across North America.

This is not only a fundraising event, it is also an entertainment event, as the train has its very own stage, where you'll see some very talented singers and musicians perform.

Here are all the stops we know about.
