The traditional Christmas dinner in Japan is - as odd as it sounds - KFC. Families will order buckets of fried chicken to eat together and it’s the busiest time of year by far at KFC stores. They have extra staff and accept orders in advance to be able to deal with the demand. As well as the regular options which are available all year round, there are lots of premium packages available over Christmas. You can get a pack with everything you need for Christmas, including food, wine and cake. All this is thanks to the first ever KFC manager in Japan, who started promoting ‘Kentucky for Christmas’ in the 1970s. With no Christmas tradition in existence, it was heartily embraced, and now an entire generation considers it completely normal to have your Christmas dinner from a fast food chain.
