In the early 1800s, the custom of Christmas trees were seen as a foreign custom in the US. It was around the late 1800s when Christmas decorated trees became more popular as communication between countries increased and more immigrants entered the country.

The first evidence of trees associated with Christmas was when the Brotherhood of Blackheads erected a tree in their guild houses in Riga and Reval (now Tallinn) in Livonia (present day Latvia and Estonia) in in 1441, 1442, 1510 and 1514. A small tree was decorated with sweets to be enjoyed by the apprentices and children who collected the treats on Christmas Day.
