Instead of Halloween, many Mexicans celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) on November 1st and 2nd. This vibrant tradition honors deceased loved ones with altars, offerings, and gatherings, emphasizing remembrance and celebration of life rather than fear. Families create colorful displays featuring photos, food, and flowers, particularly marigolds, to welcome the spirits of the departed back home. The holiday blends indigenous customs with Catholic influences, showcasing Mexico's rich cultural heritage.
Irish and English immigrants brough the tradition of Halloween to America during the wave of immigration in the mid 1800s.

Mexicans in Mexico do not celebrate Easter by making Easter eggs. Instead they take a vacation and attend mass and even have a recreation of the "Way of the Cross."
Mexicans, and other speakers of the Spanish language, call Christmas, Navidad. Instead of Merry Christmas, they say Feliz Navidad, which means "Happy Birthday."
