The Christmas pickle ornament is a quirky holiday tradition where a pickle-shaped ornament is hidden on the Christmas tree, and the first person to find it receives a special gift or good fortune for the year.

Origin of the Tradition

The origins of the Christmas pickle tradition are somewhat murky, with several competing stories about how it began:

For years, many people believed that the Christmas pickle tradition was passed down to new generations from Old World Germany. Some believe that the Christmas pickle is in honor of an American Civil War soldier who survived starvation on Christmas Eve by eating a pickle. Still, it is believed that the tradition began when St. Nicholas saved two boys who were trapped in a barrel of pickles.
