Ever wondered what Koreans most enjoy on their Christmas dinner tables?

While the classic yuletide meal of turkey and stuffing may be hard to find, many Korean families celebrate by sharing a cake after a meal, which can be anything from takeaway pizza to fried chicken. As a result, bakeries across the country anticipate peak demand for cake on Christmas Eve.
