Christmas Traditions: Turkey, Panettone & My Sweet Tooth Joys ✨
As Christmas creeps closer, so does that familiar mix of excitement, comfort, and pure food indulgence. For most families, the festive season means one thing: the classic turkey dinner. And honestly, there’s something so nostalgic about it — the smell of it slowly roasting, the stuffing, the gravy, the whole cosy ritual. It’s one of those traditions you don’t mess with, because it just feels like Christmas.
But there’s one thing that truly completes the festive season for me…
Panettone.
And not just any panettone — the good ones. The ones that come in those beautiful boxes that almost feel too pretty to open. Almost.
I have a ridiculous sweet tooth, so naturally, my favourite is the chocolate panettone. Soft, fluffy, rich — it’s like Christmas in cake form. But I also love the plain one with that light dusting of icing sugar on top. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and honestly… yum. It’s the kind of treat that makes you want to curl up under a blanket, put on a Christmas film, and enjoy every single bite.
There’s something magical about these simple traditions — turkey dinners, sweet treats, the smells, the rituals. They bring comfort, connection, and a feeling that everything slows down just a little.
Christmas isn’t just about presents. It’s about the little things:
the food you look forward to,
the cosy moments,
and those treats that make your sweet tooth very, very happy.
