Peruvian Christmas blends Andean, Spanish, and modern influences. Chocolatadas, events where hot chocolate is distributed to children, are common in December. On Nochebuena, families attend Misa de Gallo, followed by a feast of turkey, tamales, and panetón. At midnight, fireworks light up the sky and gifts are exchanged. In Cuzco, the Santuranticuy fair on December 24th showcases religious folk art. The season concludes with the Bajada de Reyes on January 6th.
