That sounds awesome.

You gotta give us the story of how it came to be.

Tacos and Gluwein are spectacularly, gloriously far apart culinarily.

How did you come to having a middle American dish with a northern European beverage?

Nothing really spectacular. Gluwein is a tradition from my family (which has some roots in Germany). I always had it at my parents home during Christmas time. And since my wife enjoys it, she agrees with me making a batch for Christmas. Tacos came about because my wife makes good tacos and neither of us is much into the traditional ham or turkey dinners which are common. One year, we just agreed to tacos and that's been that. Christmas now means tacos and Gluwein.

That's awesome.

I'm in Denmark (so close to Germany) and we usually have the Danish variety of Gluwein, Glögg, multiple times throughout December.

I can totally relate to not being much into traditional Christmas cooking. My family isn't either, so we try something new every year.
