5NEWS' morning crew was lucky enough to catch a spot on the Holiday Express Train before the season concludes.
On the third episode of Around the Corner's holiday series, Tiffany and Jo hopped on the train where they encountered excited children along with their families and even Santa Claus himself.
Before meeting Santa, Jo and Tiffany enjoyed some hot chocolate and caroling and asked a couple of Farmington second graders what they wanted for Christmas.
One girl said she wanted Taylor Swift merchandise, and one boy said he wanted a drone for Christmas. When Tiffany asked him why he wanted that, he said it was for "mischief."
Tiffany and Jo also told Santa what they wanted for Christmas. In Jo's letter, she said she was 16 years old, has been kind of naughty this year (but she can explain), and wishes for more money and good health. Tiffany said she has been super good this year and wants a dining room table for Christmas.
While hopping between train cars, the crew finally ran into Santa where they found out they were on the nice list. Unfortunately, Santa said Zac is on the naughty list, but he still has time to make it up.
