The festivities during the month of December continue!

In London, England, the Whitecross Street Market is celebrating the season with over 60 food and drink vendors from across the UK. Head on over this weekend, sip some mulled wine, sample the various treats on offer and get some shopping done at the same time.




Also in the UK is the Christmas Food and Drink Festival in Shoreham-by-Sea. You have all day Saturday and Sunday to sample some delicious local food and drinks, enjoy the live music and browse the arts and crafts booths.

For the rest of December, Culinary Tours of Charleston, in Charleston, South Carolina, is offering a wonderful way to experience their unique city and its exceptional cuisine.

From November 23 - December 29, join a culinary walking and tasting tour given by Amanda Dew Manning, a 10th generation South Carolinian, and her culinary team. You will learn about Southern holiday traditions and foods including South Carolina pit-cooked barbecue, turkey and cornbread dressing, sweet potatoes, pecan pies and Hoppin' John and more.

A former Roman amphitheatre, the Piazza Navona in Rome, Itlay, is the site of the month long Christmas Market in Piazza Navona. The various stalls offer gifts and seasonal sweets such as torrone (nougat with almonds and honey), biscotti and panettone (a traditional Italian seasonal cake).
