A traditional Mexican Christmas dinner usually includes tamales, pozole (a hearty stew), and of course, plenty of hot chocolate. The meal is typically served after attending a midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. Some families also include traditional desserts like pan dulce (sweet bread), buñuelos (fried dough), and marzipan. The table is often decorated with brightly colored paper chains, piñatas, and a nativity scene. It's a time for families to come together and share the joy of the season.
