Throughout the holiday season, Chileans tend to reach for an&nbsp;iconic and refreshing holiday punch, the \u2018cola de mono\u2019 or \u2018colemono\u2019 also known as monkey\u2019s tail, to break the heat.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the popular White Russian cocktail, this tasty and refreshing beverage is&nbsp;made from coffee, milk, cinnamon, sugar and aguardiente, a Chilean alcohol. There are countless different versions, but this creamy concoction is a must on any&nbsp;Chilean Christmas food&nbsp;or drink menu&nbsp;during the holiday season. Cheers and \u2018Feliz Pascua!\u2019&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, fun fact: in Chile, \u2018Pascua\u2019 can mean both Christmas and Easter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_53761245_xl-2015.jpg\" alt=\"\u2018Viejito Pascuero\u2019 also known as Santa Clause or Old Man Christmas placing presents around Christmas tree\" class=\"wp-image-24475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_53761245_xl-2015.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_53761245_xl-2015-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_53761245_xl-2015-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_53761245_xl-2015-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-meet-viejito-pascuero-also-known-as-santa-claus-or-old-man-christmas\">2. <strong>Meet \u2018Viejito Pascuero\u2019 also known as Santa Claus or Old Man Christmas&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;Chilean Christmas&nbsp;wouldn\u2019t be complete without the magic of&nbsp;\u2018Viejito Pascuero\u2019 also known as Santa Claus or Old Man Christmas. In some parts of Chile, he can be found wearing a red and white outfit and delivering gifts via front doors or windows (as chimneys aren\u2019t common in Chile) to families with a sleigh drawn by reindeer. Throughout other areas, \u2018Viejito Pascuero\u2019 is a local rancher in the presence of a llama.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/11\/christmas-table-1909797_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Beautifully decorated table for Christmas dinner\n\" class=\"wp-image-24476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/christmas-table-1909797_1920.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/christmas-table-1909797_1920-330x216.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-celebrate-noche-buena-or-the-good-night\">3. <strong>Celebrate \u2018Noche Buena\u2019 or The Good Night&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Chile, during the nine days leading up to Christmas, Catholics observe \u2018novena,\u2019 meaning \u2018nine\u2019 in Latin. This is a period of prayer and spiritual preparation leading up to Christmas Eve. After locals attend Christmas Eve mass with friends and family members, that is when the big&nbsp;Chilean Christmas traditions&nbsp;take place. Loved ones will gather together to enjoy a delicious meal paired with scrumptious Chilean wine and at midnight, everyone opens presents. Children will often play with presents and head to bed, while the adults will keep the celebrations going.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/where-sip-best-chilean-wine-chile\/\"><em>Where to sip the best Chilean wine in Chile<\/em><\/a><br><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY:<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/south-america-landscapes\"><em>South America Landscapes<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_73982437_xl-2015.jpg\" alt=\"Assortment of meats and vegetables being barbecued\" class=\"wp-image-24478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_73982437_xl-2015.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_73982437_xl-2015-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_73982437_xl-2015-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_73982437_xl-2015-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-indulge-in-delicious-chilean-christmas-foods\">4. <strong>Indulge in delicious&nbsp;Chilean Christmas foods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During Christmas Eve festivities, locals look forward to a delicious meal with all the fixings. Chilean barbeques, also known as \u2018asado\u2019, are very popular as a key social event in Chilean culture especially during the holidays. From an assortment of meats including chicken, turkey, beef and pork and vegetables galore, the flavours of the season will have you going back for more. Mouth-watering chicken soup also known as \u2018cazuela de ave\u2019 is very popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to save some room for dessert. The \u2018pan de pascua\u2019 also known as the iconic&nbsp;Chilean Christmas&nbsp;cake is a treat like none other. Similar to a panettone, this sponge-like cake is often made with rum and filled with dried fruit or nuts and is delightful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On December 25<sup>th<\/sup>, Christmas Day, locals tend to relax and take in the warm weather by the beach and surf the waves. And later, enjoy all the yummy leftovers from the night before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_10239460_xl-2015.jpg\" alt=\"Multicoloured Christmas ornaments hanging on tree\" class=\"wp-image-24479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_10239460_xl-2015.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_10239460_xl-2015-330x245.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Depositphotos_10239460_xl-2015-80x60.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-witness-mesmerizing-christmas-trees-and-decorations\">5. <strong>Witness mesmerizing Christmas trees and decorations&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another popular&nbsp;Chilean Christmas tradition&nbsp;includes decorating locals houses with Christmas trees and festive lights. Usually beginning in November, wreaths, colourful lights, garlands and iconic nativity scenes begin to fill locals\u2019 homes and around malls and store windows throughout towns and cities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christmas trees are harder to find in Chile, so locals opt for artificial trees or sculptures to be decorated in their homes instead. In the past, The Plaza de Armas, the central plaza in Chile\u2019s capital, Santiago, was decorated with hundreds of different rag dolls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/five-reasons-visit-chile\/\"><em>Five Reasons to Visit Chile<\/em><\/a><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Do you know of any additional unique&nbsp;Chilean Christmas traditions?
