2025 Jollification Overview

Jollification SpecialistsEveryone Can Be a Jollification Specialist!

Each year since our founding, Christmas in Crestwood volunteers strive to provide opportunities for children, families, and adults to join the fun and enjoy our community while discovering Crestwood businesses and all our community has to offer.

Crestwood was established as a Village on November 12, 1947. The spirit of Crestwood is an endorsement of the City’s rich history beyond its Sappington, Long, Eddie, and Park heritage. Crestwood, its businesses, and its residents continue to proudly build a community of strong neighbors, memorable programs, and dynamic firsts at the City, County, Region, and State levels. Time and again Crestwood has proven itself a gem in the St. Louis region, earning a special place in the hearts of anyone who find themselves within its boundaries.
