Christmas Eve dinner
December 24th meal
Christmas Eve dinner is the evening meal on December 24th, often the centerpiece of holiday celebrations for families who emphasize the vigil before Christmas Day.
Traditions vary widely: some serve elaborate multicourse feasts, others follow cultural customs like the Italian Feast of the Seven Fishes or the Polish Wigilia.
For many, it's the main Christmas gathering: We're hosting Christmas Eve dinner this year.
