1. The gingerbread house (Pfefferkuchenhaus) In German

Grimm's Fairy Tales, Hansel and Gretel described that "the bird stopped on the roof of the hut, and then they discovered that the hut was actually made of delicious bread, with thick cakes on the roof and bright candy bars on the windows."

this is the prototype of the gingerbread house. Gingerbread is often made into a gingerbread house, decorated with various soft sweets, jelly beans and cream, which is simply a food paradise for children!

2. Baklava Turkey

It is one of the happiest things in life to bite open the baklava in one bite. The fragrance of pistachios and the sweetness of honey, mixed in the crispness of dough, will instantly fill your mouth.

In Greece, honey cakes with 33 layers of skin represent the life of Christ, so they are often eaten during the Christmas season. However, Istanbul's is even better, and buying some as a gift is also very popular.

3. Oliebollen Netherlands

In the Dutch Christmas legend, Santa's assistants Pete will give presents to good children. So every year around Christmas, you can see many people who paint their faces black walking in the Christmas parade disguised as ZwartePiet.

Although the Netherlands is not a big country in food culture, the fried oil balls served on the street or beside the playground at Christmas will conquer your heart in the cold night.

According to legend, at Christmas time, the Germanic goddess Perchta will ascend to the sky with evil spirits, and everyone she touches will be cut across the board. Because the fried oil balls contain a lot of grease, Perchta's sword will slip when it touches the body of someone who has eaten them.
