South Africa
On Christmas in South Africa, most families gather for a holiday cookout, known as braaing. The main course consists of marinated steaks and boerewors sausages, with a traditional dessert of malva pudding served with custard. Hand-beaded African decorations are among the baubles used to decorate traditional fir Christmas trees.
In towns and cities, going carol singing on Christmas Eve is highly common. On Christmas Eve, Carols by Candlelight services are very popular. A large number of people also attend a Christmas morning church service.
