What better way to have fun  this Christmas or work off that sneaky second helping than playing with a seasonal piñata from mexgrocer.co.uk, the online food distributer, a Times Top 50 Food Site and one of the best suppliers in The Independent’s 50 Best Food website.

Retailing at just £18.75, this family, fun filled treat is a must for any festive celebration this year and is available to purchase online now at www.mexgrocer.co.uk.

The piñata is said to have been introduced to Mexico from Spain in the 16th century. The Spanish used the piñata as an allegory to help them in their efforts to evangelize the native people of the country.

This authentic piñata is shaped like a star with points. The points represented the deadly sins, and the bright colours of the piñata symbolize temptation. The blindfold represents faith and the stick is virtue or the will to overcome sin. The candies and other goodies inside the piñata are the riches of the kingdom of heaven. Thus teaching that with faith and virtue one could overcome sin and receive all the rewards of heaven.
