IMO, this article is mis-titled. It contains only one reference to a Christmas event during colonial days, and it wasn’t held in one of the colonies.

In 1680, Texas would have been part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, but I'm not sure it could be considered a "colony." For one thing, there were few, if any white settlers in the region, although settlement began in earnest in the area around what is now El Paso during the late seventeenth century.

AFAIK, when we refer to the colonies, we’re referring to the 13 colonies of England.
