On Christmas, traditional Mexican cuisine is often characterized by the combination of sweet and savory flavors. The main dishes include tamales, mole, and pozole. Tamales are made with corn dough and stuffed with meat, cheese, or vegetables. Mole is a spicy sauce made with peppers, chocolate, and nuts, which can be served with chicken or pork. Pozole is a soup made with pork, hominy, and chili peppers. Christmas desserts in Mexico include buuelos (fried dough), pan dulce (sweet bread), and ponche (fruit punch).
