Puerto Rican Christmas feasts often feature lechón asado (roast pork) as the centerpiece. Arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas) and pasteles (similar to tamales) are essential side dishes. Coquito, a coconut-based alcoholic beverage, is the traditional Christmas drink. For dessert, tembleque, a coconut pudding, and arroz con dulce (sweet rice pudding) are popular.
