Thanksgiving Finds a Place in Mexico as Hotels Roll Out Menus for Nov. 27

Mexico treats the U.S. holiday as a voluntary, family‑focused occasion that hospitality venues are turning into curated dining events.

Overview

  • Thanksgiving 2025 falls on Thursday, November 27, aligning with the U.S. observance on the fourth Thursday of November.
  • The date is not an official holiday in Mexico, yet participation is growing, with higher uptake in northern border states such as Baja California, Sonora, Coahuila and Chihuahua, including cities like Tijuana, Mexicali and Ciudad Juárez.
  • Mexico City’s The Westin Santa Fe will offer a midday shared menu from 12:00 to 18:00 featuring beet carpaccio, spiced sweet potato cream with brie foam, a turkey or robalo terrine and a chocolate–brandy cherry dessert.
  • The same hotel will host an evening Thanksgiving buffet from 18:00 to 22:00 with a wine bar, salads and charcuterie, turkey, pork belly, roast beef, seasonal sides and classic desserts.
  • Guides highlight turkey as the centerpiece for Mexican celebrations, with sides like mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, seasonal pies and spiced or fruit‑based beverages, with some treating the meal as a warm‑up for Christmas.
