    German Christmas Recipes

    Christmas to Germans starts as early as beginning of November and ends with Three Kings Day on January 6th. Celebrate Christmas with authentic German Plätzchen (cookie) recipes like Vanillekipferl and Zimtsterne, an alpine cheese fondue or Raclette (what we usually eat on Christmas Eve or New Years Eve) or Christmas market favorites like Dampfnudeln and Lángos.

    Sophie Sadler dirndl kitchen headshot

    Hallo! I'm Sophie Sadler, cookbook author of 'The German Home Kitchen', coming this September, and German food blogger at dirndl kitchen since 2015. I am so happy you’re here! 🥨

    I moved from Trier, Germany to the U.S. in 2009 and soon terribly missed the flavors of home. Crusty German bread, flaky pastries, afternoon Kaffee & Kuchen, and, of course, Döner Kebab and pretzels! So, I started sharing my love for German food and traditions with fun, easy-to-follow recipes. Stay a while, bookmark some recipes, and let’s cook together!
