In Germany, Christmas pudding is not a traditional dessert; instead, people typically enjoy other festive treats such as Stollen, a fruit bread, and Lebkuchen, a type of gingerbread. However, the concept of a rich, spiced pudding similar to the British Christmas pudding may be found in some homes influenced by British traditions. Overall, German Christmas celebrations focus more on their own traditional foods rather than Christmas pudding.
