Alternative Festive Food: KFC Chicken

Christmas Fried Chicken (Japan) KFC With a very small Christian population, Japan doesn't have many Christmas traditions, but it does have Christmas Fried Chicken. It was the brainchild of Takeshi Okawara, who managed the first KFC restaurant in Japan in the 1970's. Nowadays, people will pre-order months in advance to get their hands on the Christmas Party Bucket!

What's more Christmassy than creating traditions and rituals designed to make you spend your money?! The owner of a Japanese KFC restaurant saw that there was a gap in the market as Japan, having a ve... ry small Christian population, didn't celebrate Christmas. Mostly, they still don't, but they will order a KFC Christmas Party Bucket every year. What started out as a promotion in the 70s to draw some customers on an otherwise unremarkable day has turned into big money for KFC in Japan. It's so popular to get KFC on Christmas in Japan, that you often have to order your Christmas bucket months in advance!
