New Mexico's Holiday Traditions

Holidays in New Mexico

No matter where you are, the holiday season is a special time of year, but in New Mexico, you’ll find that our own twist on the holidays is unlike anywhere else. The rich and vibrant traditions and heritage of New Mexicans are reflected in our art, our architecture, our food, and our celebrations, and our holidays are no different.
