Ded Moroz (Russian Santa Claus) Christmas Parade In Mexico

Members of the Russian community in Mexico City, Mexico, on December 23, 2025, parade through the streets of the Zocalo, the city's main square, as part of the Christmas Eve parade featuring Ded Moroz (Russian Santa Claus) and Snegurachkas (Ded Moroz's granddaughters and helpers). The dance, known as the khorovod, Russia's oldest traditional dance, involves participants holding hands tightly, sometimes with just one finger, the little finger, as they move in a circle.
