Austria is a land of many exquisite traditions. Just like every family has their own defining traditions, the Austrian tradition of Christmas is special for many reasons.

These traditional Christmas dishes can be found throughout the country and they are often served during the holidays at ski resorts, where a roaring fire sets the ambiance for Christmas dinner. In this post we’ll share some insider’s guide on what to bake, sip and savour this Christmas season. All the classic favourites, along with some new surprises!

#3 Bachlkoch: Salzburg’s Christmmas Delight

A Christmas classic in Salzburg is the sausage soup with Frankfurter sausages (German Salzburger Würstelsuppe). Also very popular in this region is the dessert called Bachlkoch, which is usually served on December 24th, especially in the towns of Pongau, Pinzgau and Lungau. The peculiarity of serving this dish, which consists of flour, milk, butter and poppy seeds, is that it is usually eaten straight from the pan, each with its own spoon.

#4 Schnittlsuppe: Upper Austria

In Upper Austria, baked carp or sausages with potato salad and sauerkraut are often served for the holiday table. But there is one very specialty in Upper Austria: Schnittlsuppe, which is not really soup. It is mostly sliced stale bread with pieces of roast pork, onions, broth, herbs, and a spoonful of sour cream with garlic. The main dessert in Upper Austria is mostly baked apples.

#5 Carinthia’s Kärntner Reindling

People of Carinthia traditionally eat smoked sausages (German: Geselchte Würstel) with sauerkraut and black bread for Christmas. A popular dessert is Kärntner Reindling with raisins and poppy seeds, which is very similar to our cupcakes.

#6 Wiener Karpfen – Vienna and Lower Austria Christmas Dishes

There are many different recipes in the Austrian capital of Vienna, but one of them has been popular in this city for centuries. Here there is a long tradition of cooking carp (German: Wiener Karpfen). It is not only popular in Vienna to bake carp, but also to make soup out of it.

#7 Burgenland: Tafelspitz mit Apfelkren

A popular dish in Burgenland is called Tafelspitz mit Apfelkren (Tafelspitz with apple horseradish), which is based on boiled beef. Also popular is the goose with red cabbage (German: Martinigansl mit Rotkraut) with potato dumplings.
