What to Eat on Christmas?

In China, dumplings are eaten during the Spring Festival and Zongzi (traditional Chinese rice-puddings) are served during the Dragon Boat Festival. What kinds of delicacies do people enjoy at Christmas, which is gaining popularity in China in recent years? We have put up the following list for you:

Italian Panettone

米Traditional Milanese Christmas bread that looks like a giant muffin cake and tastes like a cake.

Austrian Kugelhopf

Originated in Austria, Austrian Kugelhopf then became a traditional bread in southern France. The unique mold shape makes it highly distinguishable from other breads.

German Stollen

The bread, already heavy with oil and heavy sugar, it is baked with butter and a thick frosting to make it more festive. The rich taste brings a festive atmosphere.

French Yule log cake

This is an essential French dessert at Christmas. No matter how the taste and decorations vary, it maintains the root-like shape.

Gingerbread man cookies

美味With cookies that are both delicious and fun, you can show your creativity by painting clothes and facial expressions on the gingerbread man. You can also build your own dream Christmas house with the gingerbread cookies.

Chocolate Fondue

Sitting around with friends and families to enjoy the chocolate fondue is the best thing ever.

Danish Almond Pudding

The special dessert comes from the kingdom of fairytales. Anyone who gets a whole complete almond in the pudding will be the luckiest person in the following year.

Plum Pudding

People make fun of this cake as “imported Qiegao (Xinjiang nut cake)”. The dense taste and the various dried fruit ingredients can compete with Qiegao.

Pain d’epice
