Christmas Vacation Vibes in Kresston

December 17, 2025
Written By: Johnson Development
December 17, 2025
Written By: Johnson Development  

Opening Nov. 10 and running through Jan. 4, Tour of Trees will feature elaborately decorated trees by holiday decorating extraordinaire K&A Designs in all our model homes. Two showstopper trees will dazzle and delight — the “Christmas Vacation” tree at The Boot House and the Country Santa tree at the Village Builders model home, 26624 Boots Drive.

 

Before the oohing and ahhing, however, we ask that all visitors scan the QR code in each model home. That simple scan will result in a $5 donation from Johnson Development to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana Chapter. We aim to raise $15,000 to help send Wish Kid Samuel and his family to Orlando for a fun-filled week of adventure and magical memories. Twelve-year-old Samuel, who has been diagnosed with a neuromuscular disorder, is a big Mario fan, and he can’t wait to meet the iconic plumber in person.

 

Model homes are open daily 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. Admission to the Tour of Trees is free, so grab your jolly friends who like to branch out when it comes to holiday décor and make a day of it!

 

We are thrilled to help make Samuel’s wish come true and to spread joy this holiday season. So indulge your senses and get inspired by the glittery fashions of our holiday trees — and be sure to do your part to help send Samuel to Orlando by scanning those QR codes!
