Do I have to live in oz or nz to enter? I am a kiwi in the uk and would love to win this. My favourite christmas food is a pavlova.

Green bean casserole! From the back of the fried onion can or from scratch, we love it!

I like traditional steamed christmas pudding with hard sauce.

My mother's fudge appeared only at Christmas...I only wish I had asked her for the recipe. It was to for!

Christmas mince tarts- they come but once a year! I like the citrus peel mincemeat, melt in your mouth pastry, rich, comforting yumminess that a warmed through Christmas mince pie can provide. Especially with a nice cup of strong tea or coffee, Makes me feel all Christmassy inside.

Brisket (usually the Joan Nathan classic) for the Jewish New Year. Yum.

Crabs caught out in front of the shack.

Can't go past reading the children's classics with the kids at the beach - Make Way for the Ducklings, The Little Engine the Could, Hairy Maclary and eating ice-cream in a cone!

RoblynNovember 22, 2013

No Christmas is complete without my Mother-in-laws mince tarts.

MissQuinNovember 23, 2013

Boxing day breakfast - For some reason Grandpa decided it was ok to eat left over plum pudding for breakfast as long as was on a piece of heavily buttered toast.

toddschutNovember 22, 2013

Sausage and apple stuffing

boardingaceNovember 22, 2013

Do I have to pick just one? I love the ham, stuffing, and pumpkin pie most :)

KarinaFrancisNovember 22, 2013

Mangos and cherries always scream Christmas to me

MelanieNovember 22, 2013

My favourite would have to be gingerbread cookies. I love decorating them to give to friends and family but my all time favourite recipe is definitely the soft glazed gingerbread from Tartine (my boyfriend has already asked when I will start making the first batch for the year!).

A prawn on the bbq!

eljay65November 23, 2013

BBQ Christmas dinner and Pavlova of course dripping with fresh summer berries and huge dollops of cream, and boxing day breakfast, TRIFLE! even better the next day - especially if it's Al Brown's white choc version, or even if it's Nana's "with" or "without" ... bring it on!!

jp010038November 24, 2013

Grandma's sausage and cranberry stuffing . . . now made in my kitchen! Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MargaretsmallNovember 22, 2013

My father-in-law's Christmas pudding, which alas we won't have again as he died this year at the grand age of 95. Great cooking it wasn't, but then again he only started to cook when his wife of 60 years died. He got a buzz out of producing it each year and we did too when we ate it, hot with ice cream, made with love.

ritchiegalNovember 22, 2013

My Great Aunt's famous coffee cake....no Christmas morning is complete without it!

decklededgesNovember 25, 2013

We make a buche de noel every year!

reneegNovember 26, 2013

My favourite holiday classic is traditional christmas pudding with coins (wrapped in foil) inside. To see the look of delight on the children's faces when they find a coin makes my heart sing.

Nic_CooksNovember 26, 2013

I'm not sure if we're talking holiday classic books or dishes, but I like to do both: read my latest cookbook (like a novel) whilst cooking my favourite dish. I'm partial to coca cola ham for boxing day :)

Queezle_SisterNovember 25, 2013

Chili egg puff is the classic breakfast/brunch meal in our house. The recipe comes from my MIL, and now my own siblings all serve it in their own homes.

ChopsforteaNovember 26, 2013

A roast and christmas pudding. Due to the climate it's ridiculous and every year we say we'll do something light and fresh instead — but we just can't help ourselves. It's the routine of it where we all have our own little tasks performing the roles our parents before us did, and then we come together and re-enact the same christmas lunch we've been performing for generations. Love it.

volitionNovember 24, 2013

The best part about Christmas Day classic food is eating too much. Seafood to get you started. Oysters and prawns, every roast meat ,lamb, beef, pork, turkey and maybe chicken. With a beautiful gravy. But wait there is more food. Bring on the pav, Xmas pud with brandy cream or butter pour on some custard. How do I eat it all. We manage. Plus the drinks. It's the 1 day of the year we eat only that meal. I forgot I had some glazed ham too. And we eat the leftovers for the whole week as well. I love Xmas!

tcjanesNovember 25, 2013

Plum pudding and hard sauce.

chowfamilyNovember 26, 2013

Scalloped oysters!

matthewjamesduffyNovember 24, 2013

Bouche de Noel! I love making the Tartine book recipe!

braccoNovember 26, 2013

Do we have to pick just one? It's a toss-up between mince tarts (in almond pastry) with lashings of brandy butter, or warmed panettone with silky mascarpone custard on the side. Too hard to decide!

jill.muenchNovember 26, 2013

Proper Roast Turkey and Bavarian Rum Flan.

elizamNovember 26, 2013

AWW Birthday Cake cookbook - not strictly a holiday classic, but we should all get a holiday on our birthdays. And a swimming pool cake.

DcotterNovember 26, 2013

My grandmother's cinnamon buns for Christmas morning. They rise overnight and are baked in the iron skillet that the gooey topping is made in.

sailorNovember 24, 2013

We always have Nigella's Spiced and Super Juicy Roast Turkey which we barbeque with hickory smoke in our never fail Green Egg barbeque. We brine it two days ahead. It certainly lives up to it's name and always comes out beautifully moist and tender. We take the skin off the Christmas ham and use it to cover the breast of the turkey which stops the breast from drying out too much -- a neat little trick. We usually have Paul Prudhomme's Andouille and cornbread stuffing-- delicious.
Ho ho ho --- can't wait.

MauraNovember 25, 2013

My grandmothers plum cake, I dream about making it!!

apattinNovember 25, 2013

Quince tart or anything with quinces

BridieNovember 26, 2013

an early swim at the beach followed by leftover trifle for boxing day breakfast

fi.dewhurstNovember 22, 2013

I love the classic tradition of my Nan's Christmas pudding - a stir from each family member adding sixpences and making a wish; tightly tying the oozy mixture in calico with string to hang; waking early to boil the bundle on an old tin plate; anxiously unwrapping the steaming pudding; generously adding more brandy which burns blue as we gather round Nan's camera (which uses film!); the lottery of digging out the coins from amongst the fruit and brandy custard to claim our 10 cent rewards! It's our family's Christmas classic!

ZoeNovember 26, 2013

My best holiday classic is a new one - making bahn xeo with leftover Christmas day prawns and ham. A beautiful light rice flour pancake stuffed with crisp veg and pungent sauce is the only way to follow traditional Christmas foods in 35 degree heat!

Here's a pic from the first time we made it - http://progressivedinnerparty.wordpress.com/2010/12/30/christmas-food-open-thread-hits-and-misses-at-table/

Three years running is classic, right?

justmeNovember 26, 2013

Oh the mouthwatering rhubarb crumble is definitely a much loved family favourite of ours! An awesome summer sweet treat :)

BeckiemasNovember 26, 2013

Always the bowls of nuts in their shells. Brazils, walnuts... Along with fresh, summer fruit. Delicious!

jax68December 8, 2013

Would have to be good old roast turkey with stuffing and cranberry jelly -wait all year for it

shaedurlsNovember 26, 2013

Stuffed turkey with Yorkshire puddings

pokarekareDecember 1, 2013

My favourite holiday classic? Mum's Christmas cake. She used to make them for us every October/November. Now she has Alzheimers disease so I and three of my sisters get together with her every year and we make them together.

SithensNovember 26, 2013

Pumpkin Pie

DishyNovember 27, 2013

For Christmas, definitely the Christmas cake, is great at any time of day - with fruit (or not) for brekkie, with cups of tea, for easy dessert on Boxing day with cream and ice cream. Its great for camping and filling up hungry kids of all sizes.
For any holiday celebration, pavlova is great ... makes any occasion feel like a holiday. Took it to a Thanksgiving dinner with US friends and it won some hearts there too.

DBChefNovember 27, 2013

Home made tarragon mayo. to accompany the fresh seafood starter! With "I'll Be Home for Christmas" playing in the background.

JustineHoganNovember 26, 2013

Lollie cake (instead of Christmas cake) for the children.

MattBoundyDecember 14, 2013

My favourite holiday classic is my nan's traditional christmas pudding with brandy cream

Kimberly62December 3, 2013

My husband's stuffing or a pie made w/ currents, walnuts, apples and cranberries.

napierNovember 29, 2013

The ritual of making the Christmas cakes-soaking the fruits, filling the house with the glorious spicy aromas and carefully feeding the cakes until they are "matured" . Equal joy then comes from parcelling them up and giving them away to friends.

JenPDXNovember 27, 2013

Pumpkin pie.

SannaleeNovember 26, 2013

Stuffed turkey wrapped in bacon and then basted with cream throughout the cooking time. You will never have a better turkey I promise.

margleedhamNovember 26, 2013

For a hot Australian Christmas, nothing beats a fresh prawn, mango and avocado salad.

JudereidNovember 27, 2013

Chocolate Christmas pudding is what we look forward to at our family Christmas dinner :)

alawsNovember 26, 2013

Pavlova, ambrosia, Central Otago stonefruit grilled on the BBQ with a dash of sugar and vanilla bean ice-cream ♥♥♥

HilaryvuNovember 27, 2013

Julie le Clerc's Sticky buns which I make for our family Christmas brunch, every year!

GillianNovember 26, 2013

When my sons were growing up it was always summer pudding, brimming with fresh Oz black, red and white currants and raspberries, red and yellow, laced with Cointreau and lashed with cream with the odd dollop of brandy butter (as a tribute to those snowed in at Christmas). This was quickly replaced by gravlax ocean trout (Australian of course and salmon if ocean trout unavailable) once I learned how easy it is to make this heavenly sensory pleasure. Now I serve it with freshly grated Australian-grown wasabi, Oz capers, King Island creme fraiche and homemade sourdough ... what's not to love about the simplicity and sensuousness of what has now become THE family favourite right out to grandchildren and our amazing extended family.

DebsHBNovember 27, 2013

In my previous life in the Northern Hemisphere it was Stollen. Now, living in NZ, it is Limoncello (made with lemons from our own orchard).

sabrina7November 28, 2013

My Dad's stuffing, yummy! it's really simple, but reminds me of my childhood.
