Which Christmas Decor Sparks the Most Drama?

French Christmas Traditions You Need to See

French Christmas is a whole vibe—think oysters on ice, bûche de Noël, and Champagne flowing well past New Year’s. Their Christmas markets look straight out of a fairytale, and the traditions are wild: 13 desserts for luck, a scary Santa for naughty kids, and a cake with a hidden prize that makes you king for a day. Honestly, the festivities don’t even stop until February. Who else wants to celebrate Christmas the French way? #Culture #FrenchChristmas #HolidayTraditions
