Christmas Balls are a traditional dessert enjoyed in several parts of Latin America during the Christmas holidays. Although their name may vary, in countries like Mexico, Venezuela, and Colombia they are commonly known as "coconut balls" or "marshmallow balls." This sweet treat has its roots in European influence, adapted with local ingredients to create a unique and characteristic flavor.
In some countries, these little balls are prepared with different ingredients, but the essence remains: an easy, quick, and delicious dessert that evokes the joy of Christmas. Their popularity lies in being a dish that both children and adults can make, thus fostering family togetherness during the festive season.
