With prosecco in hand: Frauke Ludowig celebrates Christmas Eve in Wunstorf!

Just in time for Christmas, RTL presenter Frauke Ludowig (60) is becoming increasingly cheerful, and not just because of the contemplative celebration. In her podcast “Mrs Keludowig and Tine – exclusive and unvarnished” she reveals that she is already “blue” around lunchtime on Christmas Eve. The moderation of Wunstorf, a small town in Lower Saxony, causes excitement and spirits with its traditions in the run-up to Christmas. While she is celebrating a Prosecco brunch with her old friend Thorsten and other acquaintances, the consumption of alcohol is discussed openly, which attracts criticism from some Today.at reported.

A boozy tradition

Ludowig himself describes the meeting as a “wonderful” way of celebrating that has been a tradition for years. “Here comes my old friend Thorsten, who is really a crazy person, opens the bottles and then we just get drunk,” she admits, while the voices on social media are mixed. On the one hand, there are approving comments that appreciate her light-heartedness: “Very nice tradition,” says one of her followers. But there are also critical voices that point out the potential negative effects of alcohol consumption on Christmas Eve, especially from the perspective of children Focus notes.

Despite all the drinking, the good cause doesn't fall by the wayside. Every year, money is collected for charity during the brunch, which Ludowig considers particularly important. Despite the discussions - or perhaps because of the upcoming holidays - the moderator shows that celebrating and doing good can go hand in hand. But the question remains: How do you stay dry when the alcohol is flowing around lunchtime?
