Our family has always had a suet pudding (I know, it doesn't sound very good) with a hard sauce for Christmas dinner. It is a molded and steamed molasses and raisin cake like pudding served warm. The hard sauce is butter, vanilla, confectioner's sugar mixed into a very rich sauce, that can also be laced with a little brandy, or for us Americans, bourbon.
The tradition goes back on my mother's family for generations. We still use the same, very old, tin mold that has been passed down.

I suspect ours was a Tesco Finest pudding - not many people eat it anyway so it's never worth investing a lot of time or money.

Not a pudding, per se, but our made-from-scratch Christmas fruit cake was a smashing success. We doused it in dark rum and set it alight, was huge fun (and delicious).

In that case, as tradition wants, we had home-made rice pudding for dinner on ‘Little Christmas Eve’ (the 23rd), which was then made into almond rice pudding (ris à l’amande—with present and all) for dessert on Christmas Eve.
I plan on eating the rest of the almond ride pudding for brunch tomorrow, and then we’ll make klatkager (little fried ‘hash browns’ made from rice pudding with added egg and flour) of the rest of the rice pudding itself.
Yummy!

Having spent the last few years not eating our puds until nearly Easter, this year we didn't buy any.
Not missed at all.

I went shopping for ingredients with a Midwestern girl in Salamanca, Spain. The butchers were like, "What the **** is suet?" I also had no idea, I hope those butchers' reward was as good as mine. Ah memories! (circa 1992)

I find that sometimes I have to sleep with my butcher in order for him to provide me with things like suet.

I didn't actually get my suet, I just thought I would. I did get some ground chuck though...

I imagine no self-respecting Patriot would have one. Perhaps a nice casserole instead.

You blokes from Great Britain, Ireland, etc... should be familiar with this pudding as that is where it originated. You have no idea how delicious it is until you taste it.
