A festive rooftop gathering took an unexpected turn when a guest’s unconventional attempt to break open a Christmas piñata sent it flying over a balcony, much to the amusement of the other attendees.
Piñatas, traditionally filled with sweets and smashed open during celebrations, are usually the highlight of such parties.
However, this one ended up as a decoration in a nearby tree instead of showering the partygoers with candy.

The incident unfolded in Mexico City, where a woman named Fatima decided to take a less-than-traditional approach to breaking the piñata.
As captured in a now-viral video, she opted to kick the decorative container instead of using a stick or striking it by hand.
With no blindfold to hinder her vision, Fatima watched as her powerful kick launched the piñata over the edge of the rooftop terrace, stunning the crowd for a brief moment before laughter erupted.
Despite the mishap, the mood remained lighthearted, with guests taking the situation in stride.
Follow-up clips revealed that the errant piñata found a new home tangled in a tree below the apartment building.
According to the social media account What’s The Jam, the piñata was later retrieved the following morning after being shaken free from the branches.
The unexpected twist sparked a flurry of amused comments online. One local quipped, “I urgently need to know where that piñata ended up.”
Another playfully pondered, “Is it good or bad luck for the person walking by when the piñata fell?”
The incident even inspired some light-hearted comparisons, with Ana dubbing Fatima “the Karate Kid” and Max joking, “And in that moment, the party was over.”
Fatima herself joined in the humor, posting, “I understand you, Fatima. I also do Fatima-type things.”
The unique turn of events has cemented Fatima’s kick as a memorable holiday party moment, proving that even a piñata mishap can bring festive cheer.
