Holi is my favorite festival and colours are a big part of a person’s life, and the festival of colours brings with it tasty lifelines with it – food, of course! It goes without saying that Gujia is the official sweet of Holi, but other than that, I also enjoy Rabri, various Namkeens, and so many types of Barfis too.

I love NYE/NY Day - for the feelings of wrapping up the old, starting fresh. We slow down, hang out with friends or our kids, play games, etc. Just a nice together day without all the chaos of Thanksgiving/Christmas, etc. Food-wise, I love Thanksgiving because I could eat stuffing and cranberries all day, every day!

My favorite holiday food is Norwegian Lefse.   We used to make it with my grandma every year, but now we only make it every couple of years.  My mom’s frosted sugar cookies are also the best treat ever!  

My favorite holiday food is tamales. My family always has Mexican food for Christmas Eve dinner. I haven’t tried making my own before, but luckily where I live there is no shortage of great options to pick some up nearby!

PIES and COOKIES!!!!

If you force me to be more specific...pumpkin pie by a  very narrow margin!

@SewanYun Thank you so much for sharing! I love K-food, it’s delicious👏🏻 I’ll try braised short ribs the next chance I get! 

I love a good holiday ham and some of Grandma’s cheesy potatoes.

That’s an easy one this month!

My favourite christmas dish is “Sauerbraten” (marinated pot roast) with a special type of fluffy dumplings and a lot of gravy.

And of course christmas cookies.

The absolute unmissable food during the Christmas holidays in the Netherlands are the traditional OLIEBOLLEN and APPELBEIGNETS. Typical winterfare deep fried and covered in sugar 😋

💜 OLIEBOLLEN are deep fried doughballs infused with raisins, currants along with some fruit confit and topped off with powdered sugar

💚 APPELBEIGNETS are chunky apple slices coated in dough, deep fried and covered in cinnanon sugar

 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎇💥🎄

I'm not very original, but my favorite holiday food is rice krispie squares. 

It was a tradition to prepare rice krispie with my mother when I was young, and even though we no longer live together, it remains a food filled with beautiful memories and love.
 

Just talking about it here makes me want to make some tonight hahaha! 

Oh my all the wonderful sounding food and treats everyone has shared… I am hungry now.  For my my go to holiday food is always gingerbread.  I am awful at making it - but I am sooo good at eating it!! It’s one food I’d be happy to eat all year round - but typically only remember how much I love it each Christmas.  The smell, sight & taste gets my senses tingling with holiday joy 🎅

I am enjoying hearing about everyone’s food and traditions!

My favorite holiday is NYE/New Year’s Day.  When I was a kid, we would relax and play games/watch movies all day, and my mom used to fill the table with all sorts of snacks for the day - popcorn munch mix, fruit salad, veggie tray, pigs in a blanket, and so many desserts! But my favorite of all is the “bite size pizza” she would make; italian sausage, velveeta, spices, then spooned onto rye party loaf and toasted until everything was warm and gooey and delicious.

I have carried this tradition on with my family and everyone seems to just enjoy the day(s) of slowing down and just having fun together.  Good way to ring in the fresh, new year!

I love the sour cabbage soup with sausage and dry mushrooms from Slovakia!  Its very tasty and its part of the Christmas tradition! Plus I think the fermented cabbage is also healthy! 

Wishing everybody a delicious Christmas!
