Christmas dinner
Classic & traditional Christmas dinner
Certain culinary classics play an important role in the festivities each year. For many German households, Christmas Eve would not be complete without the traditional sausages with potato salad. Goose with dumplings and red cabbage is another Christmas classic in Germany. Ideally followed by baked apple for dessert.

What are the requirements for a Christmas meal?
Family is the most important requirement for a successful festive meal. Gathering together to enjoy Christmas dinner will make the experience even more special. A starter is often served before a traditional Christmas roast dinner. This could be soup or a salad. In winter, delicious chicken, tomato or pumpkin soup sets the scene for the main course. Soup warms you up from the inside too. For a classic German Christmas dinner, you will need roast goose or duck, potato dumplings and red cabbage. You then already have all the key ingredients for a traditional festive dish. This typical Christmas meal can be adapted according to individual taste with more vegetables or side dishes. High-quality tableware and beautiful table decorations will add the perfect finishing touches to the atmosphere. And for the big finale, you can serve a delicious pudding such as classic baked apple, cheesecake in a glass or a spectacular almond cookie dessert.
