Welcoming the New Year outside Colombia is a mix of excitement and nostalgia. The weather changes, the schedules change, even the way people celebrate changes. In many places in the United States, New Year’s Eve is lived with more formal dinners, small gatherings, or quiet plans at home. But if you grew up in a Colombian family, you know that December 31 is something else: music, rituals, laughter, and a proper New Year’s Eve dinner that lasts until the early hours of the morning.
Even if you live in the USA, there’s something that doesn’t have to change: your traditions and your flavors. The 12 grapes, the suitcase to attract travel, the lentils for abundance, the hugs at midnight… and of course, a table that feels truly yours, where the classics are never missing. That’s where Cornstarch Custard Mix, Colombian Doughnut Mix, Mini Doughnut Bites, and Colombian Hot Chocolate become your best allies so your New Year’s Eve dinner in the United States still tastes like home.
In this blog, we want to show you how to put together a New Year’s Eve dinner with a Latin touch, using Colombian products you can find in allied stores and on Amazon, without complicating things and keeping the spirit of your traditions intact.
New Year’s Eve Dinner in the USA, with a Colombian Heart
The reality of living in the United States is that you often end up adapting to what’s available: turkey, ham, more “Americanized” dishes, or even fast food if there’s no time. And that’s okay, life changes. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up the flavors that remind you who you are and where you come from.
The beauty is in finding a middle ground in your dinner and adding details that take you straight back to Colombia. That’s where these come in:
- Colombian Cornstarch Custard as the main dessert.
- Colombian Doughnuts made with ready-to-use mix, coming out hot and fresh right before midnight.
- Mini Doughnut Bites as bite-sized snacks to go with the conversation and laughter.
- Colombian Hot Chocolate to close the night or to enjoy in the early hours.
With these four products, your New Year’s Eve dinner becomes something more than “just a dinner”: it turns into a moment that makes you feel at home, without spending the whole day in the kitchen or running all over town looking for ingredients.
The Best Moment: Colombian Doughnuts and Mini Doughnut Bites as the Perfect Opening
Before the main course arrives, there’s always that time when people are just getting there, serving the first drinks, getting comfortable in the living room, and catching up on life. In many homes, that’s the perfect time to bring out something to snack on.
If you want to make things easier, you can use the Colombian Doughnut Mix from Su Sabor Latin Taste to prepare a tray full of golden, fluffy Colombian Doughnuts. The advantage of a ready mix is huge:
- You don’t have to guess measurements or go hunting for the perfect cheese.
- The flavor is the same, very Colombian, even if you make them in your kitchen in the United States.
Mini Doughnut Bites work perfectly as an “appetizer” before dinner and also as a complement to the main dish. You can serve them in a basket in the center of the table for everyone to share, or even as a special option for the kids, who always love them.
The 12 Grapes, the Hugs, and Cornstarch Custard as the Sweet Ending
When midnight gets closer, dinner is over, the dishes are cleared, and everyone is watching the clock. Then come the 12 grapes, a wish for every month, the hugs, video calls, laughter, and of course, a few tears from the more sentimental ones.
After that emotional roller coaster, your body and heart ask for something sweet. It’s the perfect moment to bring out the Colombian Cornstarch Custard.
With the Cornstarch Custard Mix from Su Sabor Latin Taste, there’s no need to complicate things: you can have it ready before dinner, let it cool while everything else is happening, and once the rush of midnight is over, serve it in a large dish or in individual cups.
The Early Hours and Hot Chocolate: A Non-Negotiable Ritual
For many Colombians, the night of the 31st doesn’t end at midnight. It stretches with music, games, jokes, memories, and even dancing in the living room. And when the early hours arrive and the cold hits a little harder, a main character appears that can’t be missing: Colombian Hot Chocolate.
Su Sabor Hot Chocolate is made to bring back that intense, comforting flavor you’ve known your whole life. It’s simple to prepare: heat milk (or your favorite beverage), melt the tablets, and let the aroma fill the whole house.
Serving Colombian Hot Chocolate in the USA in big mugs, alongside the remaining Colombian Doughnuts, is a moment that can easily become a family ritual.
January 1st: Leftovers, Slow Moments, and More Colombian Flavor
The celebration doesn’t end when you go to sleep. January 1st has its own magic: waking up late, walking past the dishes from the night before, putting on some soft music, and of course, thinking about what’s for breakfast.
That’s when your Su Sabor Latin Taste products show up again:
You can reheat Colombian Doughnuts in the oven or air fryer so they get crispy again. Cold Cornstarch Custard becomes the perfect dessert to start the day, and another pot of Colombian Hot Chocolate rounds out New Year’s breakfast or that first mid-morning snack of the year.
