Christmas Date in Honduras: December 25

Christmas in Honduras is celebrated on December 25, aligning with the Gregorian calendar used by most Western Christian denominations.

It is a major religious and cultural holiday featuring:

• Midnight Mass (Misa de Gallo) on Christmas Eve
• Family feasts with tamales, torrejas (sweet fried bread), rompopo (eggnog)

• Gift-giving, often on Christmas Eve or Three Kings Day (Jan 6)

The celebration blends Catholic tradition with Indigenous and Afro-Honduran customs.
