Hey Yall! My oldest daughter Lauren is studying Spanish this year in Middle School, and a couple of days ago her class was celebrating Day of the Dead, a Mexican holiday which is prayers and remembrance of loved ones that have died.
While picking her up from school, I noticed she was upset and I asked what was upsetting her. Lauren told me that in Spanish class during her class celebration of Day of the Dead, she didn't get to have any Mexican hot chocolate or Spanish treats because her teacher ran out.
I told her we could do something at home together. With Disney•Pixar’s COCO opening in theatres this Thanksgiving (November 22nd), we can celebrate the new film and Day of the Dead festivities by making delicious Pan de Muerto & Hot Chocolate.
And you can too! Below are the recipes you can right-click photo, and print.
ABOUT THE MOVIE
Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt). Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael GarcĂa Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel's family history.
Enjoy these yummy treats! Will you be seeing Coco this Thanksgiving?
