Americans have a tradition of eating pumpkin pie during the winter solstice. As a popular food, pumpkin pie is mainly made of pumpkin, flour, sugar and butter. On the winter solstice, many families will choose to make pumpkin pie by themselves to celebrate this important festival.

The origin of pumpkin pie can be traced back to the early colonial period in the United States. At that time, due to the lack of advanced refrigeration equipment, people could only grow and store pumpkins in summer. In winter, pumpkin becomes one of the main sources of vegetables. In order to make full use of pumpkin, people began to try to make it into various delicacies, among which pumpkin pie is the most popular. With the passage of time, pumpkin pie has gradually become one of the iconic foods of the American winter solstice.
