It is going to be a very different holiday season for most of us this year. The usual traditions may not be able to happen in quite the same way. But why not embrace the change and find some new traditions. Here are a few unusual tasty treats to tantalize your tastebuds over the festive period.

This super helpful article from CFAH.org talks about the best CBD gummies for anxiety and depression.
Pebber Nodder
Pebber Nodder is a delicious biscuit treat popular amongst the Danish during Christmas. The direct translation is peppernuts, but it does not contain any black pepper. The recipe is straightforward, so give it a go and treat yourself to some delicious European home baking. But beware, they are small cookie bites, so you can easily devour them in one sitting without realizing how much you have eaten. If you want the full Danish experience then you can find some of their advent TV shows online. Each year they count down to Christmas with a TV show that airs a new episode every night, like an advent calendar counting up to Christmas. Some of the shows are in English, and some are in a made up language, so easy for non-Danish viewers to follow.
Fairy Bread
The Australian Christmas is a summer occasion, and usually, the hot sunny weather clashes with all of the depictions of Santa and his sleigh on snowy rooftops. That isn’t the only unusual thing about the Australian holiday season. Fairy Bread is a slice of buttered white bread covered in hundreds and thousands. There is nothing healthy here, so this is about pure indulgence. It is a particular favorite for children, so if you are looking for a simple fun activity to keep the kids occupied, making and tasting some fairy bread is a good shout.
Buñuelos
Mexico is most famous for its day of the dead traditions, as seen in popular movies like Pixar’s Coco. However, they also have some tasty treats for the festive period. Buñelos are little stacks of fried dough, covered in cinnamon. The cinnamon spice makes them taste like Christmas. A freshly fried batch is delicious, and this is an excellent way to vary up your traditions without losing the tastes you are familiar with.
Finally, remember that all of these treats will taste their best if you are willing to step outside your comfort zone. There is nothing wrong with sticking to candy canes and Christmas pudding if it is what you love, but these little culinary delights from around the world might just become a new family favorite. The enjoyment of any holiday food is the fun you have around it and the memories you will make that can last forever.
