The largest Christian population in India proportionally. Christmas is marked with star lanterns at every window, midnight mass in Malayalam, appam and stew breakfast, and the Kerala plum cake. The Coonan Cross and Syrian Christian liturgies are distinct from Latin-rite practice.
Portuguese-influenced Christmas with midnight mass, sorpotel, bebinca, and community carol-singing. The state's Christmas and New Year season is a major tourist period.
