Christmas pudding is a type of pudding traditionally served on Christmas Day (December 25) as part of the Christmas dinner. It has its origins in medieval England and is sometimes known as plum pudding or Christmas Pudding or just pud though this can also refer to other kinds of boiled pudding involving dried fruit. Despite the name plum pudding the pudding contains no actual plums due to the pre-Victorian use of the word plums as a term for raisins.
