No holiday meal is complete without a desert. At Christmas, while American families make the traditional pumpkin pie and the Englishmen enjoy the yummy Christmas pudding, the Italians have their piece of the local Christmas cake that fills their houses with the smell of citrus, vanilla, and candied fruit.

But Italy has never taken the final decision on which is the traditional Italian Christmas cake. Since years pannetone and pandoro have been fighting for this prestigious title. Many Italian families are literally split between panettone lovers and pandoro lovers.
