Mexican Mother’s Day and US Mother’s Day 2026 Fall on Same Day

In the United States, Mother’s Day is observed on the second Sunday in May. Mexico, however, always celebrates on a fixed date: May 10. For 2026, the second Sunday in May falls exactly on May 10, meaning both traditions land on the same day.

Make life easier for Mom, don’t make her cook! Order some of her favorite foods from her favorite Mexican restaurant, or order hot and ready family meals from her favorite grocery store chain. Pick up some pan dulce to enjoy throughout the day.

Make clean up easy with disposable plates and cutlery.
