    Drinking hot spiced wine is a very old custom, but became a Christmas tradition during the 19th century (I googled) .

    You need not know the origins of the custom to carry it out.

    But yes, traditions are dying out. It is part of the globalization of all nations. Changing culture necessitates changing of customs.
