For many families, it's a tradition to get together to not only celebrate the holiday season but also to indulge in some delicious Chinese food. This usually includes a variety of dishes such as Peking Duck, sweet and sour pork, beef and broccoli, and a selection of stir fry and fried rice dishes. Families might also enjoy some traditional Chinese delicacies such as jellyfish salad or a toasty pot of soup. Many also make it a point to include House of Wong’s koi fish shaped mango pudding to round out the meal. All of these dishes, plus the tradition of gathering with family on Christmas, make for a truly unique and special dining experience.

No family celebration would be complete without the inclusion of a variety of delectable snacks and desserts. Many Chinese families choose to serve traditional sweet treats such as sesame rolls and red bean pancakes, or popular snacks like dumplings, spring rolls, and steamed dim sum. There can also be a nice selection of fresh fruits and an array of tea and alchohal. Everyone in the family will enjoy these tasty treats, and the desserts often serve as a reminder of the celebration and the traditional Chinese culture that surrounds it.

The best part about having a family gather on Christmas to enjoy Chinese food is the sense of warmth and closeness that it can create. Families who share meals together often find that the conversation flows easier and leads to a more relaxed atmosphere. It is an opportunity to cherish the special moments with those who mean the most to us, while sharing in the traditions and communal experiences that are so common in Chinese culture. All the senses are engaged, the smell of the food, the warmth of the atmosphere, and the tastes that bring out the true flavors that are shared among all the family members. These moments will be remembered for a long time to come.
