Christmas is not a traditional holiday in Japan, but it has become increasingly popular in recent years. Fried chicken and cake have become popular foods to eat during the holiday season, with KFC being a staple food on Christmas Day. Christmas cakes are also popular, typically decorated with strawberries and whipped cream. While fried chicken and cake are the most popular foods to eat on Christmas Day in Japan, other traditional Japanese foods are also enjoyed during the holiday season. Many restaurants offer special Christmas dinner menus for customers who want to enjoy a fancy meal outside of their homes, and snack and drink companies release special Christmas-themed products.
