Christmas Recipes
Puerto Rican Christmas is an explosion of flavor, family, and tradition. The food is rich, hearty, and often made days in advance as part of the celebration.
You’ll find tables stacked with Instant Pot Pernil (Pork Roast), Arroz con Gandules, and plenty of Coquito flowing. Dishes like Guineítos en Escabeche and Tembleque complete the festive feast.
