A Christmas dinner leftovers sandwich (also sarnie, butty), also known as a Christmas sandwich or Boxing Day sandwich, is a sandwich made of leftovers from Christmas dinner. Popular in the United Kingdom as a seasonal meal, a Christmas sandwich can incorporate various traditional Christmas dinner foods, including Christmas ham, roast turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
