Réveillon In Belgium, Brazil, France, Portugal, Romania, in the Canadian provinces of Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick, the city of New Orleans, and some other French-speaking places, a réveillon (] ) is a long dinner held on the evenings preceding Christmas Day and New Year's Day. The name of this dinner is based on the word "réveil" (meaning "waking"), because participation involves staying awake until midnight and beyond. In Portuguese-speaking countries, it is also a designation for the party preceding to the New Year's Day. In the United States, the "réveillon" tradition is still observed in New Orleans due to the city's strong French heritage, with a number of the city's restaurants offering special "réveillon" menus on Christmas Eve.
