First time I tried this. Been a fan of Stollen since I grew up in Italy. This is a very good recipe.
I was a bit confused because, as you wrote, Stollen is everywhere here in Germany in November and December but only then. Seeing this picture was a bit as if a swallow would have appeared outside - totally out of season. But I hope a lot of people elsewhere try and make it!
btw: It would be great if you could include a source for an image if it is not yours. Pages like Pixabay offer a lot of images you can use freely.
