Atole (Spanish: [aˈtole], from Nahuatl ātōlli [aːˈtoːlːi]), also known as atolli and atol de elote, is a traditional hot corn- and masa-based beverage of Mexican origin. Chocolate atole is known as champurrado or atole. It typically accompanies tamales, and is very popular during Day of the Dead (observed November 2) and Las Posadas (Christmas holiday season).
