Christmas trees first made an appearance with the ancient Egyptians and Romans. They used them to mark the winter solstice. The evergreens served as a reminder of the green plants that would come in the spring. However, it wasn’t until Prince Albert and his wife Queen Victoria of England appeared in a drawing in the Illustrated London News in 1848 that the tradition took off.
