You know it’s the holiday season when Ted Drewes opens up again in the winter to sell their frozen custard and live Christmas Trees!

Ted Drewes Frozen Custard has become an integral part of St. Louis over the years…and one of their two locations (4224 S Grand Blvd.) is located right here in the Dutchtown West Neighborhood!

According to their website, Ted Drewes Sr. first opened Ted Drewes Frozen Custard at the South Grand location in 1931. While only open during the summer hours for ice cream, Ted Drewes lights up again from November 28 to around December 20 to sell the Canadian balsam Fir Christmas Trees that are brought to St. Louis from Nova Scotia. They also have select flavors of custard for sale…and kids get free frozen custard with the purchase of a tree!
