Last Night to Visit Crestwood Mall Santa at Watson Plaza

Ted Ricks, who played the big man at Crestwood Court for more than a decade, will be available at Spectrum Eyeglass Repair on Tuesday evening for photos with children. Browse our list of other places to find Santa Claus around St. Louis this year.

Ted Ricks, known to many residents as Crestwood Court's longtime mall Santa, may not have had his regular gig this year, but he's still finding reasons to put on the red suit.

You can catch him Tuesday evening at Spectrum Eyeglass Repair from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. Owner J.J. Skiver, Jr., said he reached out to Ricks because Ricks is the only Santa his children have ever known. 

Parents can purchase photos of their children with Santa for an additional fee. Proceeds will benefit Toys for Tots.
