A Traditional Spanish Christmas Celebration
Christmas in Spain still has a powerful religious significance. It begins on December 8 with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, and continues with religious events and processions all the way to Epiphany or Three Kings Day (Dia de los Reyes Magos) on January 5 and 6.
If you wish to experience a truly authentic Spanish Christmas lunch or dinner, explore our festive menus. Each begins with our exceptional jamón Ibérico—the prized acorn fed ham that is rightly considered a national treasure.
FLEXIBLE CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION OPTIONS
CELEBRATE IN TRUE SPANISH STYLE
That’s when mechanised floats trundle down main streets with participants throwing handfuls of sweets to spectators. In Madrid and Barcelona, the sweet-throwing Three Kings’ parades are usually televised, they’re on such a grand scale. January 6 is also when children in Spain receive their Christmas gifts. Kids place their shoes – along with letters to the Three Kings – by the door or under the Christmas tree before going to bed on the 5th; the next morning they awake to shoes filled with gifts and treats.
Spanish Festive Menus
Even in these more secular times, many Spaniards attend midnight mass—Misa del Gallo, or Rooster’s Mass—on Christmas Eve (Nochebuena). This is also the occasion when families gather for substantial feasts featuring roast lamb or fresh seafood.
We take immense pride in our culinary heritage, and our Christmas specials reflect this lifelong passion. Classic festive highlights include turrón—a traditional nougat crafted with almonds and honey—alongside pavo trufado de Navidad (turkey stuffed with truffles), cochinillo asado (roast suckling pig), and, of course, bacalao a la Vizcaína, which features salted cod prepared in a rich sauce of red peppers, tomatoes, and onions.
