Buster's Magical Hayride: A Christmas Adventure

Step into the enchanting world of Buster's Magical Hayride, where families embark on a thrilling Christmas journey through the heart of holiday magic! Join Buster the Elf as he welcomes you aboard and introduces Elfie, a new recruit sent on a special mission by Santa himself. Your destination? The only magical Christmas machine powerful enough to transform Elfie into a full-sized helper, ready to spread holiday cheer across Southeast Louisiana!

But the journey is far from easy! Just as Elfie sets off to deliver Santa’s sack of toys, the notorious Rascal the Rotten Elf sneaks aboard, armed with mischief and a plan to fill the sack with coal! As the story unfolds, you'll pass through the Holly Jolly Village, a bustling Christmas wonderland where lively elves spread cheer and laughter, and into the depths of a mysterious coal mine where Rascal’s past is revealed.

Alongside Fester the Toy Maker, Elenore the Wise, and Baby Luvs A Lot, you'll help Elfie learn the true spirit of Christmas, showing Rascal that kindness and generosity are more magical than anything Santa could give. With the power of Christmas spirit and the excitement of every guest aboard, Elfie and Rascal face the ultimate test to save Christmas and bring joy to children near and far.

With each stop along the way, families will be swept up in the magic of holiday cheer, dazzling scenes, and heartfelt messages of redemption and friendship. Buster's Magical Hayride is an unforgettable experience that will ignite the spirit of Christmas in every heart!
