Chicago's winters are chilly, but you can discover how the city celebrates the holidays from the warmth of your own home through my “12 Virtual Tours of Christmas” series! On this live-streamed tour, we will ride the Chicago Transit Authority's annual holiday train, and it is absolutely joyous! You'll see festive features on this special train, discover its history, learn about the evolution of Chicago's "L" trains, and get interesting views as we travel around the city.

All of this and so much more is featured on this upcoming Tours With Mike virtual tour on YouTube. Throughout this interactive experience, you can engage with everyone else during the live-stream and your questions will be answered as we're together riding the CTA’s holiday train. There is no charge for the virtual tour, but tips are appreciated and you can see the variety of ways to send them here.

Head here at the virtual tour’s start time to watch the live-stream. The recording will also be on the Tours With Mike YouTube channel through the rest of the holiday season. I hope you can join me as we celebrate Christmas in Chicago! 🎄
