Your Guide to Fenton in Winter: Hidden Gems, Holiday Spots & Cold-Weather Fun

Winter in Fenton Has Its Own Kind of Magic

Winter in Fenton has its own kind of charm. The air gets crisp, the lights go up, and suddenly our little corner of St. Louis feels extra cozy. Whether you’re already a neighbor or thinking about calling Fenton home, here are some of our favorite ways to enjoy the season.

Warm Spots for Winter Mornings

When it’s cold outside, Fenton’s local hangouts become the unofficial community living rooms. Start your morning with a latte and pastry at Russell’s Café & Bakery, pick up something warm and sweet from Fenton Olde Towne Donuts, or grab a seasonal boosted tea or protein shake at Fired Up Nutrition. Each spot offers its own kind of comfort — perfect for warming up, catching up, or getting a little work done without freezing fingers.

Cold Days, Beautiful Trails

Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you have to stay inside.
Trails at Fabick Nature Preserve, Westside Park, and Fenton City Park are peaceful in the colder months — quiet, scenic, and perfect for a brisk walk to clear your head.

Holiday Vibes Around Town

Fenton leans into the season with community events that make things feel festive.
You’ll find holiday lights in the parks, winter markets popping up on weekends, and family events at local schools and the library. It’s the kind of place where you really feel the community around you.
