Canada has its own unique Christmas food traditions. Many Canadians enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner consisting of turkey or ham with mashed potatoes, vegetables, and gravy. Other popular dishes include roast beef, corn on the cob, and roasted root vegetables. Desserts often include Christmas cookies, fruit cake, and gingerbread. In some regions of Canada, traditional French-Canadian foods such as tourtiere (meat pie) and poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds) are also served.
