The traditional Mexican Christmas meal is known as "Nochebuena," which means "good night" in Spanish. It typically includes tamales, pozole, mole, and other dishes made with a variety of ingredients, such as pork, chicken, beef, and vegetables. Christmas desserts in Mexico include buñuelos (fried dough), rompope (a type of eggnog), and tamales filled with fruit or chocolate. Mexican families often gather together to enjoy this delicious feast on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
