The Surprising and Hilarious History of the Christmas Tree

Get ready, friends — today we’re going festive. Like… dangerously festive. In this episode of This With Krish, we dive into the wild, weird, surprisingly emotional history of the Christmas tree— from ancient Egyptians using palm branches as winter motivation, to Germans wiring actual candles to evergreens (yes, FIRE), to how Shannon and I somehow ended up with nine Christmas trees in our house last year.

This episode is funny, personal, factual, and full of those holiday moments we all relate to — the chaos, the magic, the traditions, and the memories we hope our kids carry with them long after they stop believing the Elf on the Shelf is reporting to the North Pole.

If you love Christmas, family stories, humor, or just need a little holiday light in your day — this one’s for you.
