Sorry to bump Gav but the answer should be Naples from here http://faculty.ed.umuc.edu/~jmatthew/naples/bl!!!8.html
quote - It’s Christmas Eve. In Naples, most people have a traditional meal very late in the evening, often almost at midnight and running over into Christmas Day, itself. I will go to relatives’ and eat something, I suppose, though not what tradition requires—that is, eel.

Its Day 11 of the HostelBookers Advent Calendar Competition and Christmas is only 2 weeks away! Are you ready? Here is our daily question: In which South American country do they eat Easter bread at Christmas?

I have no idea, have googled & only coutry that came up when combining south america with easter bread was argentine but it doesn't state whether they eat it at easter or christmas.

Any help appreciated please x

so far i've got on wiki that argentina has a rosca cake for christmas and a version is cooked at easter with whole cooked eggs on the top. don't know if that's the version they're referring to?

chile has a bread at christmas, but i don't know if they eat it at easter too

agree with you

Because Christmas occurs during summertime in South America, ... they eat almonds, dried fruits, and pan dulce , a sweet bread that is ..

I think it might be Chile : ) This was a seriously tough one!

Since Chileans use both the words “Navidad” and “Pascua” interchangeably for Christmas, this bread might literally translate to “Easter bread” but it is eaten at Christmas time.

Greece and Italy do it too! Don't have a source but I have seen them doing it myself. I'm wearing yellow this New Year's Eve:T

Day 13 and it's another TREASURE HUNT! Clue 1: This country is known for its romantic Christmas markets.

My first thought is Germany as they started them all although other countries have them too
