El Salvador

On December 24 and 25, Central American countries such as El Salvador celebrate Christmas with fireworks displays. Smaller firecrackers called volcancitos (little volcanos) and estrellitas (little stars) are used by children, while larger firecrackers and Roman candles are preferred by adults.

In El Salvador, the entire family celebrates the holiday by attending church together on Christmas Eve and returning home to a lavish feast. At the dinner table, roasted turkey, potato salad, rice, chicken, and alcohol are served, along with beverages such as Coke, rum, or wine, known as gaseosas.
