If you're in the mood for some farcical Christmas fun, head to Covent Garden for the annual Great Christmas Pudding Race, a staple of London's holiday festivities since 1980. Here you will see hundreds of runners bedecked in fancy holiday garb as they navigate through an obstacle course-- balancing a Christmas pudding as they go! Before and after the race, there is live music and entertainment to keep the energy level high, though at this event it is hard to be anything but full of celebratory cheer. Though the event itself is free to spectators, all proceeds from the race go to benefit the Cancer Research Fund.
