For more than 20 years, United Airlines at Newark Liberty International Airport have been taking a plane filled ill and recovering children on a "fantasy flight" to meet Santa. On Wednesday the plane loaded up with about 40 sick and recovering children, many of whom are being treated for serious illnesses or are victims of abuse or homelessness, and took the group to the North Pole.

After the one hour flight from Newark, the passengers are greeted by Santa Claus. The terminal decorated as a stand-in for Santa's hometown. As you can see in the video, the children loved it!
