Pancho Claus is a Mexican version of Santa Claus popular in parts of the United States, particularly Texas.[1] Pancho Claus is sometimes referred to as a "Tex-Mex" version of Santa.[1][2] Growing out of the Hispanic civil rights movement of the 1970s,[1] the Pancho Claus tradition incorporates a strong element of charity, with gift-giving and events run for the benefit of disadvantaged children.
