Why Kerala is the Ultimate Destination for Christmas and New Year Celebrations
If there's one place I always dream of visiting during the festive season, it’s Kerala — especially during Christmas or Onam. The charm of Kerala's celebrations is undeniable, and it truly feels like "home" no matter where I am in the world. After all the travel restrictions and the pandemic, I’ve found myself missing India more than ever. As my husband often says, “The true spirit of Christmas can only be felt once you step into God’s Own Country.”
As soon as you cross the Palakkad border, the festive atmosphere sweeps over you. Homes are adorned with sparkling stars, twinkling lights, and beautiful decorations. If you happen to be in Cochin during this time, you'll be mesmerised by how the city lights up, creating an enchanting and festive glow. The entire place feels alive with the spirit of the season — it's the perfect blend of tradition, joy, and warmth.
Feeling the Christmas Vibe in Kerala?
If you’re looking to bring a taste of
Kerala’s festive charm into your home this holiday season, keep
reading! I’ll be sharing some must-try dishes that will make your
celebrations extra special.
Celebrating Christmas the Kerala Way
I only truly came to understand and celebrate Christmas after marrying my beloved. A Kerala-style Christmas is something truly special — it’s the only way I know how to celebrate the season. Broadly speaking, we are Roman Catholics, with our roots tracing back to Saint Thomas, making us one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. This deep connection to our heritage gives us a unique way of celebrating the holiday.
Advent: A Time for Reflection and Preparation
In keeping with our conservative religious faiths, which believe in suffering before celebration, the first 24 days of December — the Advent season — are marked by a time of austerity and restraint. Most traditional families, including ours, observe "Noyambu," which essentially means fasting or refraining from certain foods and activities. During this period, no meat, seafood, or dairy is consumed, and we lead a pared-back, frugal lifestyle, focusing on spiritual reflection rather than indulgence.
The Joy of Christmas: A Feast of Food and Merriment
Then, when Christmas Day arrives, it's a celebration like no other, filled with pomp, merriment, and, of course, a grand feast. The austerity of Advent is swept away by the joy and abundance of Christmas, and the food and drinks are an essential part of the festivities. Christmas in Kerala is all about coming together with family, enjoying a sumptuous spread, and celebrating the season with warmth and love.
Ready to Bring the Kerala Christmas Feast to Your Table?
Stay tuned for my detailed Kerala Christmas/New Year menu, including traditional recipes that bring a taste of God's Own Country right into your home. These festive dishes will surely make your celebrations unforgettable!
A Christmas Feast Like No Other: Food, Family, and Festivities
When Christmas Day finally arrives, it comes with all the pomp and merriness you could ever imagine, especially when it comes to food and drinks. The whole month of December, leading up to Christmas, has been a time of austerity and restraint, but once the big day is here, it’s a time to indulge in celebration and good cheer.

For me, a festival is never just about good food — it’s about GREAT food. And anything worth celebrating should come with special food to commemorate the occasion. Christmas and New Year deserve a spread that reflects the joy and abundance of the season, and that’s exactly what this menu aims to offer.

Desserts & Drinks
Finish your meal on a sweet note with a selection of decadent desserts. Pair them with festive drinks to round off your celebration in style.
"Toast to Joy: Christmas Cakes and Wines for the Perfect Start"
The one and only Christmas cake — or Fruit cake, or simply the Kerala Plum Cake. This beloved tradition kicks off with the preparation of soaking the fruits (a step I personally never followed in my family until recently, but now, I’ve started). Then comes the labour-intensive day of baking 8-10 cakes, making Murukku, Diamond Cuts, Square Biscuits(Kala Kala), and other Christmas goodies. There’s something so special about the smell of warm cakes filling the kitchen, and of course, happily nibbling on the freshly baked treats straight from the oven.
Christmas Fruit Cakes: A Must-Have for the Festivities
In every Christian household, Christmas cakes play a central role. Whether it’s the Kerala Plum Cake, a rich fruit cake with a perfect blend of spices, or other traditional baked goods, no Christmas celebration is complete without these sweet delights. This section is dedicated to celebrating the heartwarming tradition of baking and enjoying these cakes.
"Toast to Joy: Homemade Wines to Celebrate the Season with Flavour and Tradition"
A Toast to Begin the Party
What better way to kick off your festive celebrations than with a Homemade Wine paired with a slice of rich Fruit Cake? It's a time-honoured tradition that brings people together—raising glasses of homemade wine and celebrating the season.

Why Homemade Wines Add Extra Zing
Let’s face it: no party is complete without wine. But homemade wines? They add an extra zing that truly elevates the celebration. The charm of homemade wines lies in their unique flavours and the personal touch that comes with each batch. If you're serving up your Classic Fruit Cake, there's no better partner than a glass of homemade wine.

Essence of Life - Food is all about daily cooking with a simple sense of taste and health. It is all about food. Not a day goes by without eating for most of us, so what we eat matters on the whole. Food in the mode of goodness increases the duration of life, purifies one's existence, and gives strength, health, happiness, and satisfaction. Above all ingredients, the most vital one in my kitchen is love.
