 Canada is a very large country with many cultural traditions and celebrations come from their native influences. That is why there are a lots of different

Christmas traditions in Canada although their festivities are quite similar to the American parties. In places like

Labrador and Nova Scotia people wear masks and visit houses during the twelve days of Christmas miming,

making noises, ringing bells and asking for candies. The mummers stop acting weird since hosts guess their

identities correctly. Every member of the family makes their own kind of cookies and exchanges them with the other members. January 6th, in the province of Quebec there is a tradition called “La Fete dy Roi”. They bake a

cake with a bean in it. The person who discovers the bean, he or she will be the king or the queen in the house for the

whole day. This is similar to our Spanish tradition.
