What do Chinese people eat during Christmas?

China's celebration of Christmas has its own characteristics, and the Christian elements have been greatly downplayed. On Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas, Chinese people give apples to each other. This activity is called sending peace apples. "Apple" and "peace" are homophones, and in China, apple symbolizes peace and safety. In addition to edible apples, various apple-shaped ornaments and toys are also popular among people.
Traditional gingerbread is made with honey and peppercorns, and is sweet, spicy and stimulating in taste. Today's gingerbread has been improved and sprinkled with a layer of icing sugar on the outside, which not only makes it taste rich but also looks very pleasing.
The tree trunk-like cake is a famous French Christmas delicacy. Before the invention of electricity, the French gave a good firewood as a Christmas gift. The French are romantic by nature, and even the origin of their cuisine is romantic: Once upon a time there was a young man who could not afford to buy Christmas presents, so he picked up a piece of wood in the forest and gave it to his lover. Not only did he win her heart, but he also became successful from then on. Therefore, log cake has also become a symbol of wishing good luck in the coming year!
There is also a special food in Christmas dinner - baked corn porridge with a layer of cream and some fruit on top. It is sweet and delicious with a unique flavor.
After all, Christmas is not a traditional festival in China, and it is only celebrated formally in some cities along the southern coast. However, Western festivals are now quite popular in mainland China. In fact, no matter how you celebrate it, just be happy!
