The Holiday Dishes That Are Never Missin...

NPR
About this episode
After everything that has happened this year, it can feel difficult to find things to celebrate. So we're using this episode to spread a little joy, through something everyone can relate to: food.

We asked all of you what holiday dish is never missing from your table, and you answered – from seafood gumbo in Louisiana to Hungarian Beigli to traditional New Mexican cookies called Biscochitos and more. Be careful listening on an empty stomach.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
