<holidayfyi-glossary slug="mince-pie"></holidayfyi-glossary>A small, sweet British pastry filled with mincemeat — a mixture of dried fruits, spices, suet, and sometimes brandy — traditionally eaten during the Christmas season. Despite the name, modern mince pies contain no meat; the original medieval version combined meat with fruit and spices. According to folklore, eating one mince pie on each of the 12 days of Christmas brings good luck for the following year.
