Argentina is known for its delicious cuisine, and Christmas is no exception. On Christmas Eve, Argentinians enjoy a feast of traditional dishes such as asado (a barbecue), empanadas, and tamales. For dessert, they have natilla, a thick, creamy, and sweet custard, and alfajores, which are small sandwich cookies filled with dulce de leche. Argentinians also like to drink mate, an infusion of yerba mate leaves, and sparkling wine on Christmas Eve.
