The History of the Christmas Tree

Evergreens have been a winter comfort for centuries, but the tree we know today grew out of home traditions in German-speaking Europe. By the 1500s, families were bringing small firs indoors and hanging simple decorations—nuts, apples, paper shapes and, later, tiny candles for a soft evening glow.

The idea traveled and truly caught on after a famous 1840s illustration showed Queen Victoria and Prince Albert gathered around a decorated tree. Suddenly the Christmas tree felt modern and cozy, and homes across Britain and the English-speaking world began to copy the look.

In the United States, German immigrants helped spread the custom through the 1800s. A few decades later, electric string lights replaced open candles, making trees brighter and safer for busy family rooms.

By the early 1900s, towns began lighting big public trees so everyone could share the moment together—a tradition that still brings neighbors out on chilly nights. Whether yours is simple with handmade ornaments or full of sparkle, the heart of the Christmas tree is the same: a little evergreen light in the darkest days of winter, with everyone gathered close.

10 Craft Ideas Using Your Christmas Tree Coloring Pages

10. Spiral Tree Mobile
You’re going to color a tree page, then cut it into a spiral so it twirls in the air. Start at the outside edge and cut in a slow circle toward the star. Thread a pipe cleaner up through the center, bend a small loop for hanging, and add a bead or bell at the bottom for a gentle spin. Hang in a doorway or near a window (away from heaters).

9. Tabletop Centerpiece Scene
You’re going to make a tiny “stage.” Cut a big half-circle from dark blue paper for the night sky and add star stickers. Fold white paper into a fan and glue the straight edges to the bottom as snowy hills. Color and cut your tree, then tuck the trunk into one fold of the fan. Add small cutouts (gifts, stars) and set the scene in the middle of the table.

8. Tree Pencil Topper
You’re going to color and cut a small tree, then accordion-fold it from top to bottom. Use a hole punch to make one hole near the top crease and one near the bottom crease. Slide a pencil through both holes and gently stretch the folds. Kids love the little “ruffle” that sits on top.

7. Candy-Look Ornament (Decoration Only)
You’re going to color a tree, glue it to thin cardboard, and cut it out neatly. Add a line of wrapped peppermints or buttons down the center as “ornaments” (decoration only; not for eating). Punch a hole at the top, thread yarn, and hang. Write the year on the back for a keepsake.

6. Fancy Standing Tree
You’re going to color and cut a tree, then glue it to poster board and cut again for strength. Make a 3-inch paper towel roll “trunk,” snip two tiny side slits, and slide the base of the tree in so it stands. Bunch white crepe paper around the bottom for snow and add a paper star on top.

5. Handmade Card (Tree Front & Message Inside)
You’re going to fold red or kraft cardstock in half. Color and cut a tree, glue it on the front, and add a tiny ribbon bow or a line of glitter glue as garland. Inside, write a short greeting and the date. Simple, sweet, and fridge-worthy.

4. Holiday Fan
You’re going to fold a finished tree page into an accordion (fan) with the point at the top. Glue a craft stick to the back as a handle and place a paper star at the “V.” Add mini pom poms as ornaments. It makes a cute prop for concerts or classroom parties.

3. Cone Trees (Set of Three)
You’re going to roll finished pages into cone shapes and tape or glue the seams. Trim the bottoms flat so they stand. Wrap embroidery thread or thin yarn as garland, add sticker “ornaments,” and top with a small paper star. Make a tall, medium, and small cone for a simple mantel trio.

2. Classroom Tree Chain
You’re going to color multiple tree pages. Cut one page into a big tree and seal it with clear contact paper (optional). From the extra pages, cut 1-inch strips and make a long paper chain with tape or glue sticks. Punch a hole in the top of each laminated tree and tie them onto the chain with yarn so every student’s tree hangs in the loop.

1. Christmas Tree Hat
You’re going to fold a simple paper hat from newspaper or large craft paper (pirate-hat style). Color and cut a tree and glue it to the front so it sits tall when worn sideways. Add a name label on the brim. Kids can march around for a quick “tree parade.”

Explore simple pages for kids and relaxing designs for adults. Start with easy outlines, then move into a winter scene with ornaments, with presents, with lights, and a bright star topper. You’ll find styles with garland, angel toppers, wreath accents, a glowing fireplace, and a snowy village, plus playful touches like banner ribbons, confetti, and drifting snow. Choose quick kawaii or doodle trees when you want something simple, or pick intricate patterns for a longer, mindful session. Coloring helps little artists practice focus and fine motor control while everyone enjoys a calm, festive moment together.
