Christmas cherry pie is a traditional dessert with its roots in European celebrations and has found a special place in the festivities of various Latin American countries. Originating from English and German kitchens, this pie became popular for its combination of crispy crust and sweet and tangy cherry filling, a fruit typical of the winter season. In Latin America, especially in countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Chile, this recipe has adopted local variations, although it is generally still recognized as "cherry tart." In other countries, it is also known as "cherry pie," adapting the name according to the culinary traditions of each region.
This recipe has become a Christmas classic, as it offers a balanced flavor and a festive presentation that recalls holly leaves, also used for decoration to symbolize hope and prosperity during this time of year.
