Dominican Christmas celebrations feature pasteles en hoja, similar to tamales but wrapped in banana leaves. Roast pork (pernil) is often the main dish, accompanied by moro de guandules (rice with pigeon peas). Desserts include dulce de lechoza (papaya candy) and arroz con leche (rice pudding). Ponche, a creamy eggnog-like drink, is popular during the season.
