Traditionally prepared for Christmastime, vánočka is a braided brioche-like bread that is typically flavored with rum and lemon zest, although it is often made with the addition of raisins and almonds. The name of this delicacy stems from Vánoce , the Czech word for Christmas , while the bread is said to symbolize baby Jesus lying in a manger, snugly wrapped in cloth strips. Interestingly, when making vánočka, it is a custom to jump up and down and think of dear friends and family members while the dough is rising.
