It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Stamford. The Holiday Wish Express has rolled back into town at the Stamford Town Center.
The Holiday Wish Express first came to Stamford four years ago. It's the largest indoor Christmas experience in the Northeast. You can get a look at Santa's operations with an immersive experience to the North Pole and more than 20,000 square feet of holiday magic.
Some of Santa's most trusted employees work at the Holiday Wish Express.
"I am Santa's master toymaker and head of all manufacturing here at the North Pole," said Phineas Flywheel.
Flywheel makes sure children's Christmas wishes come to life and helps them know where they stand with Santa.
"The most important thing about a child at Christmas time is knowing what list they end up on," Flywheel said.
A new addition to the Holiday Wish Express this year is the Toy Maker's Workshop, Mrs. Claus' Gingerbread House and the Post Office, with an official elf sorting station.
Santa may be the man behind the magic, but Professor Christmas is the chief operating officer at the North Pole, making sure everything runs smoothly.
"How about Kris Kringle. That's how I know him. I've been working with Kris for over 100 years, making sure the right toys get to the right children," said Professor Christmas.
With Christmas just under two weeks away, the professor said there's still time to make sure you're on the nice list.
The Holiday Wish Express will be at Stamford Town Center until Dec. 24. To purchase tickets, visit their website.
