Jack-o-lanterns are made from carved pumpkins. This tradtion originally began in Europe, particularly Ireland, where they carved other root vegetbales, like turnips. In Amerâ¦ica, the tradition switched over to pumpkins because they were larger and easier to carve and more native to growing in the United States.
Where Did Jack-O-Lanterns Come From? Each Halloween millions of Americans put out jack-oâ-lanterns, whether theyâre carved from fresh pumpkins or represented by some sort of plastic creation they bought in a store. But few people ever really wonder where the tradition came from. Itâs just a tradition most of us have followed since we were kids.
