At Christmas time, Great Britain offers a range of seasonal attractions. The inner cities are festively illuminated and decorated. Christmas markets set up their stalls and fill the air with the scent of mulled wine, cookies and candles. Christmas music can be heard in department stores, elevators, on the radio and in kitchens and living rooms. Sentimental Christmas commercials are shown on television between films. Mistletoe twigs are hung over doors, under which one kisses, and large socks are attached to the mantelpieces, which are filled with presents on Christmas morning. People go from house to house singing Christmas carols, the king gives a speech and Christmas trees are decorated. England also has a lot to offer in culinary terms at Christmas: In addition to the classic Advent pastries, there are so-called mince pies. These used to be filled with meat, today you will find a mixture of dried fruits and spices in them. Christmas pudding, a flambéed bread pudding with dried fruit, and oven-baked turkey are also typical of the Christmas season.
To go with these festive specialities, the British breweries brew wonderfully aromatic festival beers, of which we have packed a small selection for you in this Christmas bag. In the brown jute bag with a drawstring you will find three Christmas delicacies from the United Kingdom, which also go wonderfully with the local festival kitchen.
