The Christmas Box
La Navideña — The Colombian Christmas Box
$56 plus shipping · 31 pieces
The short answer. La Navideña is our Colombian Christmas box: buñuelo and natilla mixes for the novena, original Chocolate Corona with its wooden molinillo, torta negra and the candy of the season, 31 pieces in all. It's for the Colombian who spends December far from home, or for whoever loves one. $56 plus shipping, which depends on the state you send it to.
It's the only one of our boxes with buñuelos and natilla. The carols, mijo, you'll have to sing yourself.
The store opens soon: we're stocking up.

FAQ
Does it ship to California?
Yes. California is in our West group: shipping for La Navideña is $22 and it takes 5 to 7 business days on the road, after it leaves Miami in 1 to 2 business days. To have it for the novena, order before Monday, December 7.
What is the novena?
Nine nights, December 16 to 24, when the family gets together to pray, sing villancicos (carols) and eat buñuelos with natilla. The box brings a pocket booklet with the prayers, so nobody has to remember them.
Does it contain alcohol?
It has 2 tortas envinadas: torta negra, a dark fruitcake soaked in wine. Everything else is candy, chocolate and mixes.
Can I add a message?
Yes, free, up to 150 characters, printed on a card on top. A name in vinyl on the lid is $5 extra (up to 24 letters).
Will the chocolate melt?
Chocolate bars can soften if they hit strong heat on the way. If they arrive soft, a while in the fridge and they're good as new.
