The Artisanal Festival of Coffee, Chocolate, and More—Christmas and Rosca de Reyes Edition—is coming to town, a magical spot where you can get ready for the end-of-year dinners with the happiest stomachs in the city.
You’ll find more than 60 Mexican producers and entrepreneurs all in one place at an event dedicated to Mexican cuisine, seasonal shopping, and family feasting.
Following the success of its Day of the Dead edition, this event returns to help you get ready for the three major celebrations coming up: Christmas, New Year’s, and, of course, Three Kings Day.
What will you find at this festive edition?
Get ready—the offerings are finger-licking good:
- Early Roscas de Reyes: You don’t have to wait until January. There will be traditional options, exotic fillings, gourmet creations, and sizes ranging from individual to family-sized so you can sample them and choose your favorite for January 6.
- Bread for dinner: Can you imagine decorating your table with handmade edible candles? You’ll find them made from butter with fine herbs, garlic, red wine, or sweet chocolate versions. Plus, there will be gourmet baguettes and the must-try traditional bread from Zacatlán de las Manzanas—straight from Puebla and stuffed with cheese.
- Food Court: To satisfy your hunger on the spot, the menu features classic codfish sandwiches, chicken sandwiches with mole sauce, artisanal tamales, vegan options, Christmas punch, and drinks made with cacao.
Gift bazaar, Christmas decorations, and chocolate workshops
If you’re eager to cross items off your Santa Claus list, the holiday shopping area will feature jewelry, clothing, handmade cosmetics, pet accessories, and Christmas decorations. And yes, there will be a gift-wrapping station at a special rate.
Plus, your purchases can win you prizes! For every $200 you spend, you’ll receive a ticket to enter the event’s raffles. They’ll be giving away holiday gift baskets, coffee makers, and handmade piñatas—perfect for your posadas.
If you’re a fan of cacao culture, on Sunday, November 29, there will be a workshop on making chocolate in a metate (with limited space and advance registration required) so you can learn the artisanal process behind this delicacy.
Don’t miss this chance to stock up your pantry, plan a 100% family-friendly outing (there’ll be a giant tree for photos!), and support local businesses.
