The Christmas pickle is a lesser-known
Christmas tradition for some Americans.
A Christmas tree decoration in the shape of a pickle
Is hidden on a Christmas tree,
with the finder receiving either a reward
or good fortune for the next year.
There are a number of different origin stories
attributed to the tradition, including an
origination in Germany.
This theory has since been discounted,
it is now thought to be a
German-American tradition created in the late 19th century.
