A Christmas Feast
of the Uncanny
11 December 2025
7-8.45 pm, via Zoom
Step beyond the cozy glow of twinkling holiday lights and into a Christmas world where the shadows tell their own tales. A Christmas Feast of the Uncanny (not linked in the least to that podcast, although we are all huge fans or Mr Robins and the gang) is an immersive online event that explores the eerie, strange, and deliciously dark side of Yuletide traditions through the lens of food.
Join the Serve It Forth teams at this live virtual gathering to discover:
Why ghost stories are so popular at Christmas as we explore the food references in some of the lesser-known ghoulish tales from Charles Dickens and his like.
The significance of otherworldly beings like elves, witches and monsters at this time of the year and their relationship to food.
The origins of traditional Christmas foods and the old customs that linked them to fortune-telling and other forms of the supernatural.
A Christmas Feast of the Uncanny combines yuletide folklore and culinary history into one atmospheric evening— perfect for those who love the murkier elements Christmas with a touch of the weird and macabre.
