BΓ»che de NoΓ«l and SablΓ©s
π About This Tradition
Lebanese Christians celebrate Christmas with French-influenced traditions, including the Yule log cake. However, they add their own twist with sablΓ©s - butter cookies flavored with orange blossom water and decorated with almonds. Families prepare elaborate feasts featuring both French and Middle Eastern dishes, creating a unique culinary fusion.
