Christmas traditions around the world are diverse and unique, yet all have similar origins centered around light and hope. Here we highlight 5 of our favorite global traditions and ask you to share your favorite local Christmas tradition.

England: ‘Christmas Pudding!’ Christmas pudding, also known as “figgy pudding” or plum pudding, is an English dish dating back to the Middle Ages. Suet, flour, sugar, raisins, nuts and spices are tied loosely in cloth and boiled until the ingredients are “plum,” meaning they have enlarged enough to fill the cloth. It is then unwrapped, sliced like cake and topped with cream.

Greece: ‘Kala Christouyenna!’ In Greece, many people believe in kallikantzeri, goblins that appear to cause mischief during the 12 days of Christmas. Gifts are usually exchanged on January 1st, St. Basils Day.

Central America: ‘Nativity Scene’ A manger scene is the primary decoration Central American and South American nations. St. Francis of Assisi created the first living nativity in 1224 to help explain the birth of Jesus to his followers.

Finland: ‘Hyvää Joulua!’ Many Finns visit the sauna on Christmas Eve. Families gather and listen to the national “Peace of Christmas” radio broadcast. It is customary to visit the gravesites of departed family members.

Jamestown, Virginia: ‘Eggnogg’ According to reports by Captain John Smith, the first eggnog made in the United States was consumed in his 1607 Jamestown settlement. Nog comes from the word grog, which refers to any drink made with rum.
