Vánočka is a braided bread baked in Czech Republic and Slovakia (in Slovak called vianočka) traditionally at Christmas time. It is rich in eggs and butter making it similar to brioche. Lemon rind and rum add color and flavor; the dough can also contain raisins and almonds and is braided like challah.
