December 24 – Nochebuena – Christmas Eve

Celebration of  the eve of the nativity of Jesus, as both a secular and religious winter holiday.

The traditional treats for this holiday are buñuelos (crispy fried rosette cookies, a Mexican favorite at Christmas), tamales and atole or champurrado, a thick hot chocolate drink. Sometimes they eat gelatina de colores (different flavors of Jell-O and a milk-based Jell-O mixed together to make a colorful treat) Las Posadas are celebrated nine days before Nochebuena, usually accompanied by a piñata party for children and dance music for adults.
