It's starting to get a little chilly in the 915 as the first freeze of the season is expected to hit this week.

As the temperatures drop in El Paso, it's only logical that we all begin to prepare and the only way to prepare is if you have these five items at the ready!

As temperatures drop, I know many of you have already busted out your:

San Marcos Cobija

It's time to bust out the cobija that is big, plushy and warm and has one big design on it! Everyone in my family has one, each expressing who we are with a design fit for each of us- I'm sure that you have a favorite too!

Caldo

Unlike my mom who loves to make caldo in the hot summer heat, this is the PERFECT time to make some caldo! Actually, any kind of warm, brothy dish like pozole or menudo.

Chocolate Abuelita (or Ibarra)

We don't just do regular old hot chocolate in El Paso, we get a nice hot cup of chocolate Abuelita (or Ibarra) and if you're really in a mood- then you go for some champurrado!

Tamales

You can't have chocolate or champurrado without having a delicious tamal! It's the perfect combination for a cold day in El Paso!

Pictures at San Jacinto Plaza & Winterfest

You know Winter in El Paso can only mean one thing: standing in line at Downtown Winterfest and getting that perfect selfie at the huge ornament lights!

Get all these together and you're bound to have a great winter in El Paso!
