For most Pinoys, the most cherished part of the Christmas season is getting together with family and friends, and spending precious time with loved ones while sharing delicious Noche Buena dishes. Whether your holiday spreads this year include tried and tested Pinoy handaan staples or trending and experimental dishes, they will make Christmas gatherings more memorable.

After 2 years of incomplete or online holiday celebrations, Filipinos look forward to having a cherished get-together made more special with delicious meals. At the center of Christmas, preparations are moms who wish to pour their hearts out in making the best, unforgettable dishes for their families and loved ones. For them, Christmas is the perfect time to whip out their treasured recipes and let everyone feel the love in every bite, especially after missing out on these special gatherings in the past years.

Adding more excitement to the holiday season, Nestlé held a Noche Buena Recipe battle last month in search of the Top 12 Best Handaan Recipes by calling out moms and home cooks to share their much-awaited dishes every Noche Buena using Maggi Magic Sarap, Nestlé All Purpose Cream, Nestlé Carnation, and Nestlé Milkmaid hosted by Modern Nanay Connh Cruz.

Through this competition, moms not only got to feature their Noche Buena recipes for other moms to try but also share how and why these delectable dishes are cooked with love for their beloved families and friends during the holiday season. On top of that, the battle also encouraged Pinoys to vote for their favorite Noche Buena dishes and settle on what’s on top of the list!
