Chinese Cuisine 

Chinese food on Christmas Day is a festive tradition unto itself. What began as a culturally Jewish practice among immigrants in New York City, this cuisine has expanded every year.

You can join in on the tradition and let dim sum be as much a part of Christmas as chestnuts roasting on an open fire!
