Americans' top 10 favorite foods to enjoy at Christmas
Surprisingly, turkey was not the top choice among Americans.
YouGov interviewed more than 1,000 people to compile the ranking/ Festive food hygiene.
In addition to being a date characterized by family gatherings, gifts and the magic that surrounds Christmas, food is also one of the main features of this celebration. In the United States, Christmas is celebrated in winter, so hot, calorie-dense meals are the norm. As for Americans' favorite dish, a survey revealed the mystery.
According to Pew Research Center, 90% of Americans celebrate Christmas, so many ovens will be fired up to feed families across the country.
As for mealtime preferences, YouGov recently conducted a survey asking more than 1,000 people for their favorite holiday dish. On methodology, respondents were asked to choose the best of two holiday dishes in a series of head-to-head comparisons.
