Noche Buena, Often translated as "Good Night", is a Spanish word referring to the night of Christmas Eve. Custom in Spain, the Philippines and Latin America dictates a traditional dinner on this night.
In Spain, after a Christmas mass, Noche Buena tradition includes a dinner with family and friends. It is particularly common to start the meal with a seafood dish such as prawns or salmon, followed by a bowl of hot, homemade soup. It is also common to have desserts such as turron.
In the Philippines, this usually comes after the entire family has attended a late evening mass. Often on the table are lechon, pancit, fried chicken, lumpia, rice, adobo, among others for the main course; desserts include halo-halo, rice cakes, puto bumbong, ice cream, pastries and cakes; drinks include soda, wine, beer, juice and goat milk.
In Latin America, Noche Buena is also celebrated on Christmas eve and marks the final evening of the Posadas celebrations.
