Three Kings Day is a big deal in the Latino community. According to the biblical story, the Three Wise Men/Magi travel for 12 days after Christmas to present gifts to baby Jesus. This Christian holiday is celebrated annually on Jan. 6.

Celebrators usually eat a special kings cake or bread for the holiday. The ring-shaped sweet cake/bread usually has candied fruits and nuts on it, depending on the culture.

It also has a tiny doll representing Baby Jesus baked inside. In Latin American culture, it is tradition for the person whose slide has the doll in it, to host a party and prepare tamales for everyone on Candlemas Day (Día de la Candelaria) on Feb. 2.
