In Mexico the celebrate All Saints Day, Dia de Todos los Santos. It's an itnteresting holiday that has to do with what Halloween used to be about. Halloween = Hallow's Eve (the eve before all saints day)
So other Catholic countries have All Saints Day, but Mexico is different - they also have Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)

Where you eat Pan de los Muertos (Dead Bread). It's good dipped in milk or coffee.
No others come to mind. Mexico tends to celebrate gift exchange on Christmas like Americans, but that's only because of the influence of the U.S. Traditionally gifts were exchanged on Dia de Reyes (King's day) Literally it's the day of the three wise men (the ones who went lookin' for Jesus), so they exchange gifts on this day usually January 6.
