The holidays are always a special time of the year, but part of what makes it so magical is the people that we get to spend it with and the traditions that live on. Every family has their own unique way to celebrate, from Christmas activities that range from counting down the days with advent calendars to baking festive Christmas cookies, there are so many Christmas traditions to partake in.

United States: Watching the ball drop.
Brazil: Heading to the beach.
“In Brazil, people usually go to the beach since it’s the summer there. Immediately after midnight, you’re supposed to jump seven waves while making seven wishes,” says Hudson Bohr, a Brazilian photographer based in NYC. The tradition is rooted in paying homage to Yemanja, the goddess of water. “Before you get in the water, you’re supposed to wear all white, as it symbolizes purity.”
Spain: Eating 12 grapes.
India: Building a sculpture of an old man and burning it down.
Japan: Eating soba noodles.
France: Feasting with Champagne.
While the notion of drinking wine in France is about as groundbreaking as florals for spring, the French up the ante and go all out on Champagne to celebrate the new year. There is usually plenty of dancing and party hopping. The food choices, however, remain the same: sparkling wines are paired with oysters, turkey, goose, or a Cornish hen.
Haiti: Sharing soup joumou.
Denmark: Throwing old plates.
Canada: Going ice fishing
Freezing temps don’t keep Canadians from starting the new year with a winter favorite sport—ice fishing.
Philippines: Serving 12 round fruits
