In a traditional quinceañera, the celebrant may present a doll to a younger girl.
This custom is associated with the idea of passing childhood to a younger child as the quinceañera moves into a new stage of life. The presentation is often described as the last doll ceremony, though its form and popularity differ among families and regions.
The doll may be dressed to resemble the quinceañera or may be selected as a keepsake. Some celebrations include the presentation during the reception, while others omit it entirely or replace it with a different symbolic gift.
The custom is distinct from the ceremonial quinceañera doll, which may be received by the celebrant. The two doll traditions are related but are not necessarily the same moment.
