Epcot’s Alpine Haus Showcases The Story Of The Christmas Tree

The tradition of having a Christmas Tree in our homes is celebrated around much of the world.  Have you ever wondered where, and how, this tradition started?  It is only fitting that Epcot’s new addition, Alpine Haus Food Kiosk, showcases The Story of the Christmas Tree with an intriguing display of trees and history.  From the First Christmas Trees in Germany, to Victorian Christmas Trees, American Christmas Trees, and Modern-day Christmas Trees the history is quite fascinating.

The First Christmas Trees were inspired by the Germans as they used to decorate their homes with evergreen boughs.  “Paradise Trees” were the first Christmas Trees and were decorated solely with real apples.  Take a moment to read the Legend of the Spider when you visit this area of the display.

Victorian Christmas Trees made their first appearance, in Great Britain, in the mid-1800’s.  Inspired by Prince Albert, who wanted to share the Christmas Trees from his German childhood with the people, these Christmas Trees became very popular.  The additional piece of information, on this Victorian Christmas Trees history board, is the story of the First Christmas Cards.

American Christmas Trees became popular in the late 1800’s.  The tradition of the Christmas Tree, while brought to the United States by way of Great Britain, inspired Americans to be innovative in many ways.  The first-ever Christmas Tree Lot opened in New York and the First Christmas Tree Lights were invented in the United States.  The First Electric Christmas Lights story will engage your interest.

Modern-day Christmas Trees vary from evergreen to pressed metal.  This new take, on a lifetime tradition, brings innovative ways to celebrate the season with decorative elements.  The evergreen tree remains the most popular form of Christmas Tree.  Be sure to read the history board to discover how Japan, China, and Africa decorate their trees for the Christmas holiday.

You can find The Story of the Christmas Tree display at Alpine Haus.  This new food kiosk is located along the World Showcase between Morocco and France.  Stop by and take a look at this beautifully intriguing display.  If you are looking for a bite to eat, Alpine Haus is an excellent option.  You can enjoy your food at a tall table while admiring The Story of the Christmas Tree display.  If you are traveling with school-age children to Walt Disney World this holiday season, the history of the Christmas Tree might make a really great report or journal entry for your student.  Either way, you are sure to be intrigued by The Story of the Christmas Tree.
