Victorian Christmas Traditions

Many people think that Prince Albert (Queen Victoria’s husband) was responsible for shaping how Christmas was celebrated by British Victorian families. He was born in Germany, where evergreen trees were traditionally brought into the home at Christmas time and decorated (with candles, sweets and fruit). In 1848, the royal family was pictured celebrating Christmas around a decorated tree, and the fashion for Christmas trees spread very quickly from this point on.

Victorian Christmas Traditions

The first Victorian mince pies were made of meat (a recipe that dates from Tudor times), but the mince pies made later in the 19th century didn’t contain meat and were pretty much like the ones we enjoy today.
