The tradition of gathering for the Christmas dinner exists in most parts of the world. In Brazil, for example, dinner on the 24th of December can be synonymous with a get-together between family and friends or even an occasion to taste the main foods of this time of year, with options for all palates.

Habits vary according to the culture of each family, but there are some traditional Christmas dishes that cannot be missing from dinner.

Most Christmas flavors are the heritage of European customs. However, as the party became popular in Brazil, the supper that celebrates the birth of Jesus took on a very Tupiniquin atmosphere.

The most traditional dishes are turkey, cod, Christmas farofa (which can be fried in butter with dried fruit, walnuts and almonds, for example), Christmas rice (which is usually prepared with raisins), roast suckling pig , chicken or turkey sausage, lots of fruit, panettone, french toast and Christmas cookies.

But in addition to traditional dishes, food can also be part of the decoration, using creativity.

Food that imitates Santa Claus, Christmas hats, snowmen, reindeer, wreaths, everything that reminds you of this very inspiring time of the year.
