German immigrants brought the Christmas tree tradition to the United States. Settlers most often used the cedar tree as their Christmas tree because of its abundance.

The first decorated trees were adorned with apples, white candy canes and pastries in the shapes of stars, hearts and flowers.

Tree decorations on Christmas trees began in the mid-1900s in America. It was then that decorated trees became widespread.
