It’s really weird but kinda heartwarming that in Japan it’s tradition to have KFC for Christmas dinner? Like Christmas isn’t a big holiday in Japan to begin with but in the 1970s KFC launched this ad campaign about having KFC for Christmas and it just took off and now KFC has Christmas wine and everything and you have to reserve KFC Christmas dinners in advance and it’s so weird but kinda cute?
Christmas cake is also a thing in Japan because it’s thought to be something Americans do and it got started because of American soldiers after WWII and Christian missionaries (at least that’s what I’ve read) but it’s just usually a vanilla and cream cake with strawberries and it always looks so cute and tasty
At least that’s better than fruit cake which I’m convinced has never been edible and if anything it’s a weapon.
