KFC for Christmas?! Discover Japan’s Surprising Holiday Tradition! 🎅🍗🎄

Did you know that in Japan, Christmas is all about fried chicken? 🐔🎁 What started as a clever marketing idea in the 1970s has transformed into a beloved holiday custom for millions of families. It all began when Takeshi Okawara, the manager of Japan's first KFC, noticed that Western expats struggled to find turkey for Christmas. He introduced festive “party barrels” filled with fried chicken and sides, creating a Western-inspired holiday meal that quickly caught on. 🍽️✨

Fast forward to today, and KFC is the go-to meal for Christmas in Japan! Families place orders weeks in advance, and on Christmas Eve, lines stretch around the block as people eagerly pick up their “Christmas chicken.” 🎉 From fried chicken to sides and even champagne, these holiday packages have become a true centerpiece of the season.🎄❤️
