Indeed, Portugal celebrates Christmas in a similar way to many other countries. It's a time for family and friends to gather together, exchange gifts, and enjoy delicious traditional foods like bacalhau com todos and broa. The Christmas season begins with the feast of St. Lucy on December 13th and continues until January 6th, with the celebration of the Epiphany. The city of Porto is known for its beautiful nativity scene in Praça da Ribeira, which is lit up with thousands of lights during the holiday season. The celebrations also include traditional music, dancing, and parades.
