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. Now it’s for folks of every stripe—those who don’t feel like cooking, who want to focus on spending time with family, or whose kids (like mine!) are obsessed with dumplings. 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!
