Eat jiaozi or wonton, and some drinks. It is said that drinking is to warm the body, and eating jiaozi is afraid of freezing the ears, because "jiaozi" and "rubber ears" are homophonic. A few places still have the habit of eating dog meat.

It is said that the custom of eating dog meat on the solstice began in the Han Dynasty. According to legend, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, ate dog meat cooked by Fan Kuai on the solstice in winter, which was particularly delicious and full of praise. Since then, the custom of eating dog meat from winter solstice has been formed among the people. Nowadays, people eat dog meat, mutton and all kinds of nutritious food on the solstice of winter, which is a good sign for the coming year.

Winter is the best time to eat mutton. If you can eat some mutton on the solstice in winter, the nourishing speed will be several times faster than usual. Mutton warms spleen and stomach, liver and kidney, tonifies blood and warms channels, protects gastric mucosa, tonifies liver and improves eyesight.
