Japan — Toshikoshi soba
Ōmisoka, or New Year’s Eve, is a special time for the Japanese as during this moment they reflect on their past and prepare for the upcoming year. The traditional bowl of delicious buckwheat noodles, called a year-crossing noodle, is eaten during this time. Soba is easy to cut with chopsticks, that’s why it symbolizes the custom of letting go of the hardships of the year.

Ok... Where to begin?
KFC is a VERY popular Christmas food in Japan.
Oliebollen in The Netherlands are basically just for the new year event and served with powdered sugar. Not icing.
Speculaas is just as popular in The Netherlands and mainly meant for December 5th, Sinterklaas. Basically our Santa Claus. (And partly what Santa Claus was created from)
And lastly, really, Canada? Brussels sprouts as a snack? I thought you were cool...
