WELCOME TO ST. CHARLES CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS®

Season’s greetings from Saint Charles Christmas Traditions®! Step into a world of yuletide nostalgia as chestnuts roast on an open fire, international Christmas figures roam Main Street, Victorian carolers sing holiday songs, and more, transform St. Charles into a winter wonderland. Get into the holiday spirit every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday now through December 24th with this unique blend of storytelling, history, and fairytale whimsy that has been in St. Charles for nearly half a century.

The fun doesn’t stop there! Craft your own frozen masterpiece with Jack Frost at Sundaes with Jack Frost & Friends at Freezer’s Palace. Or, on Wednesday evenings during Saint Charles Christmas Traditions®, head to Main Street to travel back in time to the foggy streets of 1840’s London for “A Christmas Carol” Stroll. Walk in the footsteps of Ebenezer Scrooge as memorable scenes and characters come to life before your very eyes. Don’t forget to head out to Historic Missouri Wine Country this holiday season. Christmas candlelight walks, festive workshops, parades, and more, turn the towns of Augusta, Defiance, and New Melle into Christmas villages.

We welcome you to discover new memories this year as Christmas magic comes to life right here in St. Charles.
