The New York Post published an article today called "Why food plays a huge role in holiday traditions", and this is what they found out-

"...Food plays a huge role in holiday traditions for 83% of people. Whether creating a new holiday dish or an old family recipe, respondents said they’re motivated to create it because their friends and family enjoy it (56%), they enjoy it themselves (56%) and because of tradition and nostalgia (43%)".
