The trees you are referring to are likely evergreen conifers, such as pine, spruce, or fir trees. These trees produce cones and have needle-like leaves that remain green throughout the year. They are well-suited for cold climates and are often used as Christmas trees.

The tradition of using evergreen trees as symbols of hope and new life during the winter season predates Christmas and has been observed in various cultures. In Christianity, the Christmas tree is believed to have originated in Germany in the 16th century, eventually becoming a popular custom associated with the holiday.
