Cultural introduction

In Japan, Christmas is celebrated primarily as a festive occasion rather than a religious holiday. While it’s not a national holiday, it has become a time for joy and celebration, often associated with romance. Couples exchange gifts and enjoy romantic dinners, while vibrant light displays create a magical atmosphere.

KFC has become a Christmas tradition largely due to a successful marketing campaign in the 1970s. At that time, KFC promoted the idea of enjoying fried chicken as a festive meal, positioning it as a Western-style Christmas dinner. The campaign resonated with the public, leading to a unique cultural phenomenon where families and couples began to celebrate Christmas by ordering KFC.

Today, many people pre-order KFC for Christmas Eve, and it’s common to see festive buckets of fried chicken being enjoyed alongside holiday decorations. The association of KFC with Christmas has become so strong that it represents a fun and convenient way to celebrate the holiday, blending Western influences with Japanese customs.
