Holiday Traditions: Christmas Dinner with an International Touch

Christmastime is all about family. And what better way to bring the family together than with a beautiful feast. With some recipes passed down for over 5 generations, each family meal tells a bit of your family story.

This year, we're inspired by dishes that bring an international touch to the Holiday table--be it Mexican, Italian or Polish influences. There's something so beautiful in seeing these colorful meals tell a story -- of a son's marriage to someone of another culture, or of a grandparent's memory of eating a special dish around the holidays. To celebrate all the wonderful culinary traditions that make each family unique, we've put together a few of our favorite Holiday recipes.

From Mexico: Chocolate Caliente

From Poland: Mazurkas

From the UK: Star-topped Mince Pies

From Italy: Florentines

From Australia: Pistachio Melbas

Happy Feasting! And please share your own holiday recipes in the comments!
