In Udine, the festive season is alive with the warm glow of tradition. Locals gather in the historic Piazza Libertà, where a towering Christmas tree stands as the centerpiece of the city’s celebrations. Markets brim with artisanal crafts, mulled wine, and frico, a beloved local dish. Families share stories over holiday meals, and children eagerly await the arrival of Babbo Natale. We asked locals what they anticipated most from this holiday season.
“We cherish our traditions,” says Anna, a lifelong resident. “It’s about family, food, and community.” For Udine, Christmas is more than a season—it’s a reflection of the city’s rich heritage and the enduring spirit of togetherness.
