What do Italians eat for their festive Christmas meals? The answer, as usual, is "It depends where they're from", for like everything else, Italian Christmas meals vary from region. We'll be lmaking some of the Christmas sweets that are traditionally made at home and tasting those that are bought at your favourite Pasticceria as well!
