Colombian Christmas is a month-long celebration filled with unique traditions. Día de las Velitas (Day of the Little Candles) on December 7th marks the season’s start. Novenas, nine days of prayer and song, are held from December 16-24. Families enjoy natilla (custard) and buñuelos. On Christmas Eve, a midnight feast called Cena de Navidad is followed by gift opening. The season ends with Día de los Reyes on January 6th.
