Here's some history behind Wassail:

  • Wassail originated in medieval England.

  • The word "wassail" comes from the Old English phrase "waes hael," meaning "be in good health" or "be whole," and it was often used as a toast to health and prosperity.

  • Wassailing also refers to a festive custom where groups of people would go from house to house, singing songs and offering wassail in exchange for food or small gifts—similar to Christmas caroling.
