What are posadas? Posadas are an important Mexican Christmas tradition and feature prominently in holiday festivities. These community celebrations take place on each of the nine nights leading up to Christmas, from December 16 to 24th. The word posada means “inn” or “shelter” in Spanish, and in this tradition, the Bible story of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem and their search for a place to stay is re-enacted. The tradition involves a special song, as well as a variety of Mexican Christmas carols, breaking piñatas and eating traditional food like tamales and buñuelos.
