为什么要在圣诞节吃火鸡呢？据说在1620年的圣诞节，大批来自英国的移民抵达美洲的朴里毛斯山，由于当时这里除了满山遍野随处可见的火鸡外，几乎没有别的食物，于是便只好烤火鸡过节。火鸡体大肉多，味道鲜美，营养丰富，胆固醇含量又低，因此受到西方人的青睐。圣诞节吃火鸡便从此延续下来，成为一种传统。 2、圣诞三文鱼 正像中国人过春节吃年饭一样，欧美人过圣诞节也很注重全家团聚，共进节日大餐，火鸡是必备的美食，烟熏火腿、圣诞三文鱼、圣诞布丁等美味也都会搬上餐桌。三文鱼是一种流行的食品，亦是一种甚为健康的食品。鱼肉含有高蛋白质及omega-3脂肪酸，但脂肪含量却较低。鱼肉呈橙色，是红肉的鱼类，但有少量白肉的野生品种。 三文鱼的食法有多种，欧洲及美国人则会以热或冷烟熏方式制作烟熏三文鱼，熏好的鱼片一般会加上黄油，配着新鲜的柠檬汁一起享用。 3、熏火腿熏火腿应该算是圣诞大餐中最传统的正菜了。不仅方便食用，还能满足节日用餐人多的需求，甚至就算剩下了也不怕。烟熏烤火腿往往会在表面涂抹上含有甜味的酱汁，如蜂蜜或者樱桃石榴酱。 利用这些甜味酱可以与红酒成为搭配熏火腿食用的完美组合，因此就需要选择果味稍浓口感丰富一些的红酒来配合烟熏火腿外层上甜腻的味道。 4、红酒 这一传统形成的理由是：肉象征着耶酥基督的肉身，红酒代表他的血。耶稣替人受难，被钉在十字架上所受的血肉之苦，是应该被纪念的。 圣诞红酒有特殊的喝法：在酒中加入红糖、橘子皮、肉桔、桔仁、葡萄干等作料，然后在火上一边加温一边搅拌（注意不可开锅），最后淋上一点伏特加，起锅之后，一杯下肚，真是又香又暖。 5、圣诞蛋糕 蛋糕是平时与节庆不可缺少的食品，圣诞节更是不可错过，巧克力口味即是圣诞蛋糕主要的口味之一，此刻几乎每一家都会制作以巧克力为主的蛋糕。人们常常把圣诞蛋糕做得新奇漂亮。上面用奶油或果酱浇“圣诞快乐”的字样，四周插上特制的圣诞蜡烛。 蜡烛形状小巧，只有三四寸长，但用料精致，五颜六色，有的还做成螺旋形。点燃之后，由主人次熄，然后大家分吃蛋糕。人们有时还在蛋糕里放进三粒豆子，以此代表圣经故事中的三个东方贤土，谁吃着豆子谁就当上了“三王”，令人感到十分有趣。 6、圣诞布丁圣诞布丁是在圣诞节吃的一种应节食品。今日的圣诞布丁源于传统圣诞食物牛奶麦粥及干果布丁，因此圣诞布丁的成分虽没有梅子，但也称为干果布丁，成为圣诞菜式的新成员。传统上，圣诞来临时，每位家庭成员都要共同制造一个圣诞布丁，象征团结和谐，且各人在搅拌一下面团时，都会默默许下一个愿望，最后还会在面团里藏一个硬币。 在丹麦，当圣诞晚餐开始时，人们必须先吃一份杏仁布丁，然后才能开始吃别的东西。如果谁能吃到那枚唯一完整的杏仁，谁将是来年运气最好的一个人，通常大人们会将这枚杏仁放在最小的孩子的碗里让他们高兴。 7、姜饼 德国最着名的传统圣诞食品是姜饼。姜饼的英文有两种一种是gingersnap，从字面就很好理解姜+薄而脆的饼；而另一种说法来自德语，叫lebkuchen。总之姜饼就是圣诞节时吃的小酥饼，通常用蜂蜜、红糖、杏仁、蜜饯果皮及香辛料制成。 姜饼的故乡虽然在德国，但欧陆人也习惯在圣诞期间吃姜饼。芬兰人会一边享用姜饼，一边喝glogi酒，它是一种掺入杏仁与葡萄干的酒，味道既辣且香。荷兰人甚至会把圣诞礼物藏在布丁或羊肠里呢！至于波兰人则分为两派，一派喜在圣诞前夕吃大餐，另一派却整日斋戒祈祷！ 圣诞老人的由来
