For some of us, dinner on Christmas Day is quite frankly the best part of it all. From pigs in blankets to stuffed turkey and cranberry sauce, it’s a festive feast worthy of a year’s wait. And let’s not forget the dessert.

Enter: traditional Christmas pudding.

Full of sweet dried fruit, almonds and brandy, it’s been a firm favourite around the table for decades. But, if us millennials get our way, we’d rather see something a little less traditional, more international as the sweet delicacy of choice.

In short: we’d rather see panettone than pudding. 

That’s right, the sweet bread loaf that hails from Italy is set to grace many a table this year. According to a recent study, the differing generational tastes mean sales for the classic pud have steadily declined, falling around 1% year on year – with around less than half of Brits set to tuck into one this Christmas.

As it turns out, only 23% of people aged between 18 and 35 eat the dessert – with millennials favouring pannetone or chocolate pudding. In comparison, it’s still the most popular dessert among over 55s – with 59% of people in that age group consuming it.

But we’ve found four grannies who love nothing more than tucking into a good Christmas pudding. So, watch Stylist’s video above to see what they thought of some of the best traditional puddings out there – from Waitrose to Aldi – for Christmas Day in 2018.

We’re pretty sure Mary Berry will be serving it up with aplomb this December…
