Avocados From Mexico is celebrating the holiday season with the launch of its “Tis the Avocado Season Sweepstakes,” which will award one winner plus one guest a trip to New York City as well as an exclusive cooking lesson with Chef Roberto Santibanez in his Manhattan restaurant, Fonda.

"We're excited to offer this opportunity to our fans and show them first-hand how versatile avocados from Mexico can be," said Jackie Bohmer, marketing director of the Mexican Hass Avocado Importers Association (MHAIA).
