History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 459420-04 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The tradition of hanging stockings by the fireplace on Christmas Eve dates back to the 16th century in Europe. The story goes that St. Nicholas, a bishop in the fourth century, would leave gold coins in the stockings of poor children. This tradition spread throughout Europe and eventually made its way to the United States. In the early 1900s, Christmas stockings were typically filled with small toys, fruit, and candy. In the 1920s, the first commercially produced Christmas stockings were introduced, and by the 1950s, stockings had become a staple of Christmas celebrations in the United States. In recent history, the Christmas stockings industry has seen a rise in personalized and customized stockings. Consumers are looking for unique and personalized stockings that reflect their individual style and interests. Many retailers now offer personalized stockings with names, monograms, or custom designs. Additionally, there has been a trend towards eco-friendly and sustainable stockings made from recycled materials. The rise of e-commerce has also made it easier for consumers to purchase stockings online, with many retailers offering a wide variety of styles and designs. Overall, the Christmas stockings industry has continued to evolve and adapt to changing consumer preferences and trends.
