Favourite Christmas Foods Around The World

Germany – Christstollen and Gingerbread Houses

Stollen is a fruitcake filled with cinnamon, cardamom and almonds. It often has a marzipan filled centre. Their Gingerbread houses are absolute goals – the incredible amount of detail that goes into each house is admirable. Too good to eat!

India – Allahabadi Cake

A type of Indian Rum Fruit Cake – containing flavours such as fennel and ginger. We can almost smell the warm, Christmassy spices from here. Yum!

Japan – KFC Fried Chicken?!

Apparently, the restaurant chain starts taking orders months in advance to prepare for the big day. We know a few people who would totally be okay with having this as their new Christmas tradition. Anyone got KFC’s number?

Spain – Churros

Christmas is a time to indulge in rich foods and the Spanish do not mess about. Every plaza has a churro cart, providing freshly made churros to passer-by’s accompanied by a cup of melted, hot chocolate for dunking. We’re drooling.

USA – Eggnog and Pies

Pumpkin, pecan, sweet potato – if it’s yummy, there is probably a pie version in the states. We’re not mad, pies are everything. Eggnog is the perfect hot, alcoholic drink to warm the coldest of nights and we’ve been obsessed since they’ve featured in every Christmas US romcom ever.

Italy – Panettone

This Italian delight originates in Milan and is now enjoyed every Christmas by many European countries. This cake traditionally weighs a kilo, so we hope you’re hungry!
