Christmas Puddings
We also looked at Christmas sweets to see if the UK had a number one Christmas dessert and the classic Mince Pie was number 1.
It seems Christmas Cake has fallen out of favour and we prefer dishes like sticky toffee pudding and gingerbread. Sticky toffee pudding was also the Christmas dessert we favour most frequently at other times of year.
