FYI , Hot chocolate is he non mexican version of chocolate caliente,
chocolate is native from mexico. chapurrado is a chocolate atole, a mix
of chocolate, vainilla and corn dough (or masa de maiz) cinnamon and
milk or water. And yes it is served in christmas time.

another christmas tradition is bueñuelos:

Also tamales dulces, empanadas, hojarascas (small polvorones).

Capirotada, in my experience, is rather served in easter, bot some
people does serve it at christmas too.
