Japanese people typically celebrate Christmas by eating traditional Japanese dishes, such as karaage (deep-fried chicken) and yakitori (grilled skewered chicken). Some also enjoy Japanese-style Christmas cakes, which are similar to traditional Western Christmas cakes but made with red beans instead of fruit. Some also eat traditional Western Christmas dishes like roast turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy. In addition to food, Japanese people also celebrate Christmas by lighting Christmas trees and exchanging gifts.
