A Christmas sandwich [1] or Christmas dinner leftovers sandwich [2] (also sarnie, butty), also known as a Boxing Day sandwich, [3] 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. [4] [5]

In the 21st century, Christmas sandwiches have become a regular seasonal offering at sandwich shops and chain stores in the UK. [6] [7] In November 2024, a multi-day 'Christmas Sarnie Party' food festival was held in Peckham, London. [8]
