In this festive episode of The Sharing English Podcast, we explore three major holidays celebrated across the United States in December: Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. Whether you’re an English learner curious about American culture or someone who loves learning about global traditions, this episode gives you a clear, friendly introduction to each celebration.

We look at the history, origins, and key figures behind the holidays; explain common symbols, foods, and traditions; and share how each one is celebrated in modern American life. From the story of Hanukkah’s miraculous oil, to the African American cultural roots of Kwanzaa, to the global evolution of Christmas, you’ll see how each holiday adds something unique to the rich cultural mix of December in the U.S.

By the end, you’ll understand not only what these holidays mean to the people who celebrate them, but also why they matter—and how knowing about them can help you connect with others during the holiday season.
