thumb|Modern Finnish joulupöytä Joulupöytä (; "Yule table") is the traditional assortment of foods served on Christmas Eve in Finland. It contains many different dishes, most of them typical for the season.
The main dish is usually a large Christmas ham, which is eaten with mustard. The ham is served with a beetroot-carrot-potato-salad called rosolli, alongside mushroom salad and various casseroles (laatikko) made with swede, carrot or potato, occasionally also a liver casserole. Gravlax and herring are also often served, and sometimes lutefisk (lipeäkala), along with boiled potatoes, peas and rye bread.
