Answer:

“Noche Buena” or Christmas night is celebrated on December 24th and the feast and fireworks often begin at midnight. Food is central to the celebration, and for many Hondurans, that means tamales. Some groups even have tamale swaps similar to North American cookie swaps!

Contrary to Christmas in Honduras, the New Year celebration in Honduras is a time to spend with friends. ... It is customary to burn the old year, thus allowing the New Year to begin. This is a symbolic gesture. They do it by creating a mannequin out of newspaper and fill it with firecrackers.

In Honduras, Easter is an intensely religious, and Roman Catholic, holiday, as is all Holy Week. There are numerous parades, special masses, and other festive cultural events all over the country. Good Friday and Holy Saturday are official public holidays.
