Celebrate #LasPosadas with #HERDEZ & #Win $1500 in Prizes!

December 16th marked the start of Las Posadas, a 9-day Mexican Christmas tradition that lasted until Christmas Eve. Despite its unique cultural and biblical origin, this holiday, to me, means a time to celebrate family and friends, love and joy, and peace and harmony. No celebration is complete without delicious food. HERDEZ®, as the No. 1 salsa brand in Mexico, wants to help you enjoy Las Posadas with traditional and authentic holiday recipes created with their premium products.

In addition, HERDEZ is hosting a monthly-long promotion with the chance to win $1500 in prizes, including a dinner prepared by a personal chef for up to 4 people in the winner's home (a $1000 value), a $250 gift basket, a $200 gift basket, or custom t-shirts!
