What is figgy pudding? It is an old English dessert that is a rich boiled pudding made with flour, suet, figs, and other dried fruits. It is mainly eaten around Christmas.

While figgy pudding is a dessert, there might be another reason the singers of "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" would be demanding some figgy pudding in the song.

Most times, when you make figgy pudding you place a silver coin inside the dessert. This fun Christmas tradition says that the person who finds the coin in the dessert will be blessed with very good luck. The Christmas tradition dates back as far as the early as the 1300s which is why it would be included in the song.
