Christmas foods: classics around the world

What you’ll discover

Christmas menus vary wildly by country, and this quiz highlights the classics people look forward to every year—breads, cookies, roasts, sides, and iconic seasonal treats.

Each question uses a 4-option multiple-choice format with no timer, so you can think it through, learn as you go, and play at your own pace.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll sharpen your ability to match dishes to regions, spot key ingredients and names in different languages, and recognize which foods are truly Christmas-specific versus year-round staples.

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

Many answers are tricky because similar dishes exist across borders, and names can look alike even when the recipes differ. Watch for small clues like origin, spelling, and signature ingredients.

Difficulty and settings

Difficulty is balanced as Mixed: you’ll get approachable “classic” items alongside tougher regional specialties, keeping the run engaging without being overwhelming. Before you start, choose your preferred question count and difficulty to make it a quick snack-sized quiz or a full festive feast.
