Vendors Make Piñatas And Sell Christmas Trees In Mexico City

Merchants at the Jamaica Market in Mexico City, Mexico, make pinatas in the lead-up to Christmas and New Year's in the capital. According to the National Institute of Anthropology and History, pinatas in Mexico originate in the former San Agustin convent in Acolman, State of Mexico, where the first pinata, as we know it today, is created more than 400 years ago, although with some variations in size and shape, on December 3, 2025.
