n the "Dia de los reyes", the children open presents and parents make dinner, eat las roscas and drink coffee or hot chocolate. Semi-sweet is preferable so that the hot chocolate or coffee which is usually loaded with sugar in Latin America gives constrast to the semi-sweet rosca which is the perfect compliment to the super-sweet drink.
Hidden inside the special designated loaf of "roscas" bread is a figurine of the baby Jesus.
According to tradition, which varies among Latino groups, the person who finds the figurine must throw a party on February 2, when the Mexico's holiday season officially ends.

That is el Dia de la Candelaria, the day Jesus was presented in the Jewish temple, according to the Bible.
Regardless of the occasion, tradition or flavor... holiday treats bring out the best during the season of giving.
Bon Apetite and Happy Holidays.
