The Christmas meal is a very important part of the Christmas celebration. And the Christmas dinner is traditionally
served on Christmas Day rather than Christmas Eve. The primary Christmas dish is roast goose and
may be accompanied by apple and sausage stuffing, red cabbage and potato
dumplings.
The Christmas Eve meal is a simpler affair serving sausages, salads, soups and different types of breads and pastries, as well Christmas cookies (Weihnachtsplatzchen.)

Stollen is a German delicacy served at Christmas time and is a unique,
delicious, sweet bread containing nuts and fruit. It is considered one of the most precious
Christmas pastries. The most famous is
Dresden Stollen, originating in the city of Dresden. This sweet bread will surely change your mind
about the American fruitcake we are accustomed to. Stollen
is shaped with tapered ends and a ridge down the center, symbolizing the Baby Jesus
in swaddling clothes.
Marzipan is also very popular in Germany and especially around
Christmas time. Marzipan is an almond
flavored confection, consisting primarily of sugar or honey and almond meal. It is commonly found in chocolates, but is
also used as a spread.
