- [Jamie] All of our-
Oh, my gosh.
(wind blowing)
I can't even see.
- Hold on we're sliding.
- One second.
- We're good.
Nope we're still sliding.
- Okay
There's just a car stopped on the middle of the highway.
The plow just slam on its brakes to try to get around him.
Gosh, this is insane.
Oh my goodness. There's a car off to the side road.
- [Steve] Look at this guy here so far.
Out of the road someone's way down there.
Holy moly.
- Oh my gosh.
- [Jordyn] Mommy it's (inaudible)
- [Jamie] What Is It?
What in the world?
- The barbecue just flew across this thing.
Look there's things flying through the air.
- [Jamie] Okay. We just got an emergency.
(kid's cheering)
Get inside, everyone get inside, seriously.
(wind blowing)
Guys we need to get that one.
We have to move it over.
We may need to tip those down, holy moly.
Or maybe roll it over here.
Let's roll it over here so it's protected over here.
All right, so all of our Alexa's just started beeping
and going crazy with the emergency alert system.
There is a major storm, snow storm hitting us right now.
All of my decorations out there in front of his shack.
Right, it says Snow Squall Warnings,
slow down or delay travel.
All of our, no.
All of our-
- [Steve] They're going to turn the corner right
through the fence, that's impressive.
- [Jamie] No it's not, all of our Christmas garments are
everywhere.
- This is crazy.
- [Jamie] Yay! Steve.
- It's snowing!
- I'm going inside it's too cold.
(wind blowing)
Oh my gosh; can't even see.
All right guys, so I know that it says the weather
is really, really bad and there's a weather warning.
And to not go outside and drive in it,
but we're gonna do that
because we are going on the Polar Express tonight.
So if you guys are or a big fan of our channel,
you know that we try to go every year.
And guys, this place is so popular that it was booked out.
We had to wait till after Christmas
and the kids have no idea.
So it's an after Christmas Polar Express surprise.
Hopefully we're gonna drive safe
but Santa Claus is waiting for us.
Yeager kids come to the theater room.
All right, Yeager family,
we didn't get to watch a lot of Christmas movies,
and even though Christmas is over,
we're gonna watch some movies.
(Kids Whooping)
Maybe the Polar Express.
- Yeah.
- [Jamie] But before we do that, look under your chairs!
- Mine doesn't open.
- Mine doesn't open either.
- What's under there ?
What is it ?
- Polar Express Tickets!
- Can we going right now?
- All aboard!
- Everybody get their jackets on and gloves on
we're going on the Polar Express.
Let's go, Let's go, Let's go!
(kids cheering)
- Let's go!
- There are cars off the road guys.
- This is getting dangerous.
- To get to the polar express train.
We have to go over and through a mountain,
and it's a snow storm,
a crazy snowstorm.
We're barely moving, there's snow everywhere,
we're sliding and we are technically a half hour late.
- Even though we left with plenty of time to go.
- This may be the first year that we actually miss the
Polar Express
and we don't get on the train to the north pole.
My goodness.
- [Steve] You can't see anything.
- [Jamie] It's like star wars, the beginning of star wars
look at this.
- [Steve] Except for we're not going in warp speed.
- [Jamie] We're not going warp speed, we're going super slow
- [Steve] We're going 30 miles an hour on a highway.
- These roads that we're on right now,
seriously have not been plowed the snow is so thick.
- [Stephen] Mom, good thing I didn't have to drive.
I was going to.
- You would not have been allowed to drive at all Stephen,
I'm letting you kids in the back know
that we're most likely not going to make it on the train.
I do not see how it's possible,
We are a half hour behind schedule
of when the train leaves and
it looks like the weather is just getting worse.
It is 7.34. The train says that it was leaving at 7.30.
It says we're not going to get there till 8.08.
We haven't made up any time.
If anything, it's gotten worse
and the snow is getting even worse.
We're probably going to call in a little bit
to see if the train has left us.
- Hold on, we're sliding.
- One second
- We are good, we are good.
- Nope we're still sliding
Just not entirely.
- Okay, Everybody's seated and buckled. It's okay.
We're just we're okay.
Glad dad's driving and not me.
- [Jordyn] And not Stephen.
- And not Stephen.
All right, we're gonna focus on driving right now.
We can't fix the fact that we may miss it.
I am disappointed, kind of upset about it,
but we just need to get there safely right now.
All right,
we stopped so we could put our car in four wheel drive,
which means Steve has to go out in the cold
and get that all set up because
we have to have it on four wheel drive to go any further,
either put chains in or four wheel drive because
the snow is that bad.
(phone ringing)
- [Steve] That's not a good sign.
- Not a good sign at all.
(voiceover on telephone)
There's just a car stopped on the middle of the highway.
The plow had to slam on its brakes to try to get around him.
Oh my gosh, this is insane.
- [Man on phone] This is Yorkshire dales.
How may I help you?
- Hi, I was just wondering if the train has already
left the station.
- [Man on phone] Yes it has I'm so sorry.
- Oh it's Okay, Is there any way to do anything?
Like to get our tickets transferred to a later train we just
got- we're just stuck in the snow storm behind a plow
and we didn't have any way of getting here.
- [Man on phone] Um...Yeah, Um...let's see.
- Eight, we're a large group, unfortunately.
- [Man on phone] Okay Um...
In that case, here's what we can do.
If you have a specific date in mind,
we'd run the 28th through 30th
two o'clock, five o'clock and seven 30.
- All right,
so we've officially missed the train
- [Steve] That is bad manners.
- It left without us.
I should've gotten us out of the house
way earlier, this is insane.
- Yeah but there's a snow storm at the house that we left
- I know but I feel like I should have been faster.
- This is life.
- [Jamie] My goodness,
there's a car off to the side of the road.
- [Steve] Look at this guy he is so far.
- Someone's way down there.
Holy moly.
The two girls in the back, the two babies in the back.
Just realized that we missed it, what Blake?
- [Blake] I want to go to Polar Express.
- I want to go to polar express to Blake, but we missed it.
(Kids crying)
- [Steve] I feel bad.
- I feel really bad too.
- We got to figure out something to do.
- This is the worst.
I'm sorry guys.
Parker just said that we don't get a hot chocolate
or a cookie
or get to see Santa.
It's so hard to explain to little kids.
Oh my gosh. Like, do you even se-,
- [Steve] I can't see.
- [Jamie] I can't even see the road, hold on.
Oh my gosh.
This is crazy.
There's a plow ahead of us, but we can't even see the plow.
Alright, We took a pit stop at 7-Eleven.
- Hot chocolate.
- Because I have heard this 7-Eleven hot chocolate
is the best,
and hopefully it brightens up some spirits in the back.
So Stephen,
you swear by this hot chocolate
- I swear by this hot chocolate
French vanilla coffee creamers 7-Eleven hot chocolate.
- What's that?
- It's so bussing.
- Okay you stay in the car Stephen, stay in the car.
Oh my gosh.
Look at this
There is so much snow.
- This is us, and this is the train.
- [Jamie] Is that the train leaving?
Leaving us?
- And we are.
- [Jamie] Yep, we totally got ditched by the Polar Express.
No Santa Claus for us tonight.
Alright, there we go.
- There's the French vanilla coffee creamers.
- [Jamie] Ooh delicious.
You got your hot chocolate,
so listen we are gonna try to go see Santa another day.
- It's hard.
- [Jamie] Is it hard?
Are you okay if we go see him another day?
- Yeah.
- Are you okay Parker?
I feel bad, but we're trying to make up for it, right?
We got some hot chocolate.
- How do you make this warm.
- How do I make it warm?
Alrighty, let me try this and see.
Okay, Stephen, that's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
You where right, alright so we all got hot chocolates.
We all got snacks.
Blake may have dropped her entire cup of hot chocolate
on the floor of the 7-Eleven.
- [Jordyn] It smells like glue.
- May have.
- May have not
- But that's you know how our day's going.
So why not?
All right, we ran into the army of snowplows
on our way home.
- [Steve] It's like a blockaid.
- [Jamie] It is absolutely a blockaid.
I think they're heading home from the long days
and it is 10 o'clock at night.
So we've just been driving the last four hours to do nothing
we drove four hours to go to a 7-Eleven
and drink some hot chocolate and eat some beef jerky.
- And we could've done that any closer to our house.
- Definitely not
and spill some hot chocolate on the ground of a 7-Eleven.
- I haven't heard from Parker in a while.
- Are you guys alive back there?
- No.
- Oh. Hi.
