Koliadari are Slavic traditional performers of a ceremony called celebration of Koliada, a kind of Christmas caroling. It is associated with Koliada (Calends), a celebration incorporated later into Christmas.

This type of caroling is called "kolędowanie" in Poland [kɔlɛndɔˈvaɲɛ] ^ⓘ, "коледуване" (koleduvane) in Bulgaria, "colindat" in Romania, "колядування" (koliaduvannia) in Ukraine [kɔlʲɐdʊˈʋanʲːɐ] ^ⓘ, "koledování" in Czechia and "коледарење" (koledarenje) or "коледе" (kolede) in North Macedonia.

In Ukraine caroling may also take place along with a staged play called Vertep.
