12 Grapes, New Intentions & Cafecito: Kicking Off 2026 the Latino Way

Welcome back to Cafecito y Croquetas ☕🥐 — and Happy New Year 2026 🎉

In our first episode of the year, we kick things off talking about one of the most iconic Latino New Year’s traditions: the 12 grapes 🍇. Do you eat them before midnight or after? Do you make intentions with each grape, or are you just trying to survive the countdown?

From eating grapes in zip-lock bags at bars to mixing them with champagne 🥂, we break down how different families and cultures approach the tradition — and why it always turns into chaos once the clock hits 12.

We also dive into:

Our personal intentions and goals for 2026

Self-improvement, health, routines & habits

Cutting back on vices and leveling up mentally & physically

Slowing down time, avoiding burnout, and staying intentional

Community, growth, and what we want this year to feel like

Whether you’re big on New Year’s resolutions or just here for the cafecito and vibes, this episode is all about starting 2026 with purpose — without losing who we are.
