Mexico and Argentina both have a high variation of languages spoken, though Spanish is the dominant language in both countries. They share some similar celebrations and holidays, such as Christmas and New Years Eve, but Argentina also celebrates Dia de las Malvinas in April and folk dancing festivals in January. While Mexico is known for foods like tamales and enchiladas, Argentina eats beef for its largest meal and has a light breakfast and lunch with coffee and small plates in between. Both countries' histories are divided into four periods, and they celebrate independence - Mexico in September and Argentina in July.
