Mexico January Holidays
New Year in Mexico: January 1
For those looking to party in Mexico on New Year’s — know this is NOT a big party holiday in Mexico like it is in the United States.
Rather, many Mexicans celebrate with family in low-key celebrations at home, and most people are fast asleep by midnight.
In cities and neighborhoods with a lot of American expats (like Roma and Condesa in Mexico City, or Chapultepec and Colonia Americana in Guadalajara), you’ll find more celebrations.
Large fireworks displays aren’t common, though you can still have fun during Mexico New Years.
Mexican New Year’s Traditions
After a family dinner on Año Nuevo (New Year’s), some Mexican traditions include walking down the streets with luggage. This is is said to bring lots of travel in the coming year.
Another tradition is eating 12 grapes a midnight; one with each strike of the clock’s bell. This is known as las doce uvas de la suerte, or “the twelve grapes of luck,” and you make a wish or set an intention for each month of the year with each grape you eat.
One of the Mexican New Year traditions that’s not always discussed publicly, is that many people wear a certain color of underwear to signify their intention for the New Year.
Each color has a different meaning: 💛 yellow for abundance, 💚 green for health and ❤️ red for love.
With many adults off from work, and students on a school break, many Mexicans simply head to the beaches.
The best time to go to Mexico beaches is from November to March during the dry season, so this is the perfect time for a tropical New Year’s in Mexico.
Dia de los Reyes Magos: January 6
Día de Reyes, also known as Three Kings Day, Día de los Santos Reyes, or Epifanía (Epiphany), is celebrated on January 6.
Regardless of what you call it, this important Catholic holiday commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men in Bethlehem to worship the Baby Jesus.
They brought with them gifts for the baby, and nowadays many Mexican children will not get their presents until the same day Jesus did.
That’s right, one of the main 3 Kings Day traditions in Mexico is that kids actually open their gifts on this day — not Christmas!
Rosca de Reyes Cake
Besides the presents, one of the main traditions on Dia de los Reyes Magos (Three Kings Day) is eating a rosca de reyes. This is a ring-shaped sweet bread that’s somewhat similar to an Italian Panettone cake.
Inside each ring, there are a few small, plastic figurines in the shape of a child, called a muñeco (little doll).
If your slice of rosca has one of the doll figures, you’ll have to buy everyone present at the gathering tamales on the next holiday — which is Día de la Candelaria on February 2.

January is part of the dry season in Mexico City, which runs from November to April.
There is still a chance of the occasional afternoon shower, but as one of the world’s biggest cities, right up there with New York City, there are plenty of indoor things to do in Mexico City when it rains.

3. Cabo San Lucas in January
For more information on visiting Cabo San Lucas, check out this Cabo Travel Guide.
Cabo San Lucas and nearby San Jose del Cabo are located in the Los Cabos Municipality. In Spanish, los cabos means “the capes,” (as cabo means “cape”). These are the top two destinations in Los Cabos Mexico.
Cabo San Lucas is the more popular of the two Cabos, though the airport you’ll fly into is in San Jose del Cabo, about 40 minutes away.
With a more relaxed vibe, San Jose del Cabo offers a nice alternative to lively Cabo San Lucas, so some travelers stay there.
With warmer weather all year, Mexico is great year-round — and Cabo even more so. It averages 300 days of sunshine each year (though some say it gets 350 days of sunshine!), so you can expect to have a nice trip to Los Cabos in January.
In fact, the Cabo rainy season only runs from about August to September, followed by 8-10 months of sunshine.
January is still warm, and temperatures average about 80°F (26°C), but you can always hop in your Cabo beach resort pool or the ocean for a refreshing swim.
Swim With the Whale sharks in Cabo
Whale sharks are sharks, but they are a docile and harmless variety, similar to a nurse shark. They are also the largest fish in the sea at about 40- to 50-feet-long (12m-15m)!
Cabo Whale Shark Season runs from about November to April, so if you want to experience this bucket list activity, book your Los Cabos Whale Shark tour ASAP because they do sell out.

For more information on visiting Tulum Mexico, check out this Tulum Travel Guide.
Once a sleepy beach town, Tulum is now one of the most popular and best places to visit in Mexico.

5. Oaxaca in January
For more information on visiting Oaxaca Mexico, check out this Oaxaca Travel Guide.
🗣 Before we talk about visiting Oaxaca in January, let’s clear up the Oaxaca pronunciation. If you’re wondering, How do you pronounce Oaxaca?, it’s waa-haa-kah.
Oaxaca State is one of the most culturally-rich places in Mexico and all Latin America.
Oaxaca City, the capital of Oaxaca State, is well known as the Foodie Capital of Mexico thanks to its delicious Oaxacan cuisine. There’s also and colorful festivals, like Day of the Dead and the Guelaguetza.
When most people say “Oaxaca,” they are referring to Oaxaca City (AKA Oaxaca de Juarez), in the central part of the state.
The beaches of Oaxaca, like Puerto Escondido, Mazunte, Zipolite and Huatulco, are also popular, but they are located on the Pacific Coast.
Oaxaca City weather is more of a desert-like climate, versus the beaches that are quite tropical. Though a desert, Oaxaca City does have a rainy season which runs from about May to September, so if you visit in January, you’ll have beautiful weather.

6. Riviera Maya in January
The Riviera Maya is located between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, in the Yucatán Peninsula. It is the most posh area in Yucatan, where you’ll find many of the best resorts in Mexico and even the nicest Mexico overwater bungalows.
Given its location, you can expect similar weather to Cancun, Tulum and Playa del Carmen, which is to say it’s on the hotter side.
Of course, you’ll be right on the Caribbean Sea, so you’ll likely have a nice breeze, but you can also jump in the sea to cool off in the afternoons.
🏝 Costa Maya in January: Located about 3.5 hours south of Riviera Maya, you’ll be in the beach town of Mahahual, Mexico on the Costa Maya. Weather in Riviera Maya and Coast Maya is similar, but the vibe is more laid back in Costa Maya.
Besides the Caribbean, there are so many other places to cool off and swim near Riviera Maya.
From the cenotes in Tulum and cenotes near Cancun, both close to Riviera Maya, you also have water parks like Xcaret and Xel-Ha, and underground rivers, like Rio Secreto.
For a truly memorable experience, head about 40 minutes south to the beach town of Akumal.
It’s just south of Tulum, and one of the more up-and-coming Mexico resort towns. However, the real claim to fame is that you can swim with the turtles in Akumal Beach.

Cozumel is a Mexican Caribbean island, located about 30 minutes by ferry from Playa del Carmen.
