About this listen

In this special Christmas episode, we look at how Japan celebrates the holiday in a completely different way from the West.
From romantic Christmas Eve dates and strawberry shortcake traditions to the famous KFC boom, we dive into why Christmas in Japan feels more like a celebration for couples than families, and how the holiday became what it is today.

If you’ve ever wondered why Japan celebrates Christmas without Santa, stockings, or turkey dinners—this episode will clear it up.
Grab a coffee, get cozy, and join us for a festive deep dive into Japanese culture, Christmas history, and holiday surprises.
