The Polar Express is based on a 1985 children’s book of the same name by author Chris Van Allsburg. The book, which has since gone on to sell 12 million copies worldwide and become a New York Times bestseller, tells the story of a boy from Michigan who is beginning to have doubts about the existence of Santa Claus. But one night, a steam-hauled train by the name of the “Polar Express” stops by his house on Christmas Eve. The train is headed to the North Pole, where Santa awaits the boy and the rest of the train’s child passengers. There, Santa will choose one of them to receive the first gift of Christmas that year—and the gift can be anything that their heart desires.

Watch ‘Polar Express’ on Sling $10
For those who want to watch the Polar Express online without jumping through all the hoops of a free trial, Sling is an excellent option. The streamer has a current deal that offers users one month for just $10. Sling offers two plans: Sling Blue and Sling Orange. (Sling Blue is more suited for news and entertainment, while Sling Orange is better for sports and family.) Both include the $10 first-month deal and cost $35 per month after the deal ends, if one chooses to subscribe. Both also offer channels like TBS, which is where the Polar Express airs.
