  1. It is celebrated on the 7thof January and it commemorates the birth of Jesus. We, orthodox people, believe that this celebration is the most important. You will learn about Christmas in Georgia bellow.

  2. Spend Christmas in Georgia – in the country of great feasts, hospitality, fascinating traditions, ancient culture and enthralling nature. You have a great chance to get acquainted with Georgian feast traditions, learn more about Georgian wines and delicious cuisine, participate in Chacha (Georgian vodka) distillation, visit historical monuments, ski and bathe in Sulphur Bath. Besides you’ll have enough time to take a stroll along decorated streets of the city. You can feel festive atmosphere and start the upcoming Christmas with new amusing impressions.

  3. At Christmas we feast almost everyday for weeks, Our parties are really grand but at the same time we make sure to observe the rituals which people of our country have been following for many years. On New Year’s Eve, just after midnight, the eldest male member of the family goes out of the house for some time, and re-enters the house with some apples and honey. A coin is stuck in each apple. Then, he feeds each family member with some honey using these coins. Such a person is called “Mekvle” ‘First-foot’, When he enters the house, he usually carries rice and corn with him

  4. All countries and nations have their favourite dishes, which have long stepped over the national boundaries and because of their virtues have suited everybody’s taste.

  5. In our country Christmas dishes are always special. A guest invited to the Georgian table is first of all offered to eat the golden-brown khachapuri which is a thin pie filled with mildly salted cheese.

  6. Like everywhere in the Caucasus, mcvadi is very popular in Georgia. Depending on a season, it is made of pork, mutton or spits aubergines stuffed with fat of tail and tomatoes.

  7. Gozinaki is a traditional Georgian confection made of caramelized nuts, usually walnuts, fried in honey, and served exclusively on New Year’s Eve and Christmas.

  8. The splendour of Georgian cuisine is backed up by famous white and red dry wines, among which anyone choose wine to one’s own taste: “Mukuzani” with a pleasant bitter taste, golden cool “Tetra” light straw-coloured. The Georgian table is conducted in a wise manner in accordance with the ancient ritual.

  9. The head of the table “Tamada” is elected as proposed by the host. The tamada must be a man with the sense of humour and ability for improvisation and a philosopher’s wisdom.

  10. Merry Christmas Wish you all the best!
