Christmas dinners in the UK are getting a tasty makeover! A recent survey has revealed that Brits are throwing tradition out the window and remixing their festive meals with some unexpected favourites. While turkey still rules the roost, chicken and beef are making a strong appearance on the menu. Forget tradition—there’s a new wave of side dishes joining the festivities. Chips, mayo, cheese, pizza, and even baked beans are finding their place alongside the usual suspects.
It’s clear that flavour trumps tradition this Christmas, with many looking to spend less time sweating in the kitchen and more time enjoying with loved ones. Nearly 64% are planning to take shortcuts and some are ditching the prep altogether, opting for takeaways. Pizza, burgers, fried chicken, and kebabs are just some of the crowd favourites, with traditional fish and chips not far behind.
For those looking for something truly unique, Papa John’s has introduced the Yuletide Yorkie – a Yorkshire Pudding–inspired pizza. Designed to cater to the evolving tastes of Brits, it’s all about bringing together the ultimate festive flavours in one bite. Whether you’re maintaining tradition or starting a new one, this Christmas is all about fun, flexibility, and flavour.
So, are you sticking to your roast or taking the plunge with something new this festive season?
