“Unwrap the Unexpected: Discover the Strangest Christmas Traditions from Around the Globe!”
People eat their main Christmas meal on Christmas Eve pretty late at night at 10 or 11 PM. Popular Argentinian Christmas dishes include roasted turkey, roasted pork (in northern Argentina, some people will have goat), ‘vitel toné’ (slices of veal served with a creamy anchovy and tuna sauce), stuffed tomatoes, salads, and lots of different sandwiches like ‘pan de atun’ (special tuna sandwiches), ‘sandwiches de miga’ (sandwiches made of thin white bread without the crusts) and ‘torre de panqueques’ (a sandwich ‘cake’ made from several layers of tortillas with different fillings).
Italy
Any Italian person will tell you that food is a huge part of any celebration in Italy. On Christmas, people have a huge Christmas feast that ends with a slice of Panettone for dessert.
Panettone is basically a dry, tall, bready fruitcake. The nativity crib scene is also a big deal in Italy. Sometimes the nativity scene is displayed in the shape of a pyramid and it can be several feet tall.
Columbia
In Columbia, Christmas celebrations start on December 7th, which is known as ‘DÃa de las Velitas’ or Day of the Little Candles. Everyone decorates their houses with a whole bunch of little candles and there are usually firework displays involved.
The main Christmas meal is eaten on Christmas Eve and it’s called ‘Cena de Navidad.’ The dishes people usually eat in Columbia on Christmas are ‘lechona’ (pork stuffed with rice and peas), ham, turkey or a chicken soup called ‘Ajiaco Bogotano’.
