Stir Up Sunday

November 29, 2026

Meal in a white pot being stirred by a stick for Stir Up Sunday

Stir Up Sunday, traditionally observed on the last Sunday before Advent, is a British tradition where families gather to prepare their Christmas pudding, symbolically “stirring up” both the ingredients and festive spirits. This day, rooted in both religious and culinary history, marks the beginning of Christmas preparations, with family members taking turns to stir the pudding mixture and make a wish for the year ahead.

Stir Up Sunday is a time for families to come together, pass down recipes, and start the holiday season on a sweet note. The tradition also encourages planning ahead for the Christmas feast, ensuring that the pudding has enough time to mature before being enjoyed during Christmas dinner.
