No British Christmas is complete without a Christmas Pudding. Despite reports that the traditional Christmas pudding has fallen out of favor for lighter, healthier, desserts. it is as popular as it ever was. The pudding is best made well in advance by several weeks to allow it to mature. Traditionally the Christmas Pudding is made on 'Stir it up Sunday' the Sunday before Advent around the end of October.
