So, how about taking a character from Spanish literature and celebrating that character's day? Like you could take Cervantes' (he's Mexican, I think, but it's in Spanish) character Don Quixote and make a holiday surrounding his deeds.
Imagination only works when it's used frequently. So if you don't feel creative, try a few things and it may really get your juices flowing.

You need to hold on to that fact as taking the viewpoint you just took that you aren't creative is holding you back.
What you should do is sit down at the table with a blank piece of paper. Take a pen and start writing down everything you can think of that is related to spain and spanish in little thought balloons.
When you have 10-20 things listed in your though balloons start trying to link them to eachother by drawing lines for the ones that connect to your theme for a new spanish holiday.
An idea or more than one idea will come to you easily this way and it may turn out 10 times better than what you hoped and surprise your cassmates.
The other thing you need to do is learn more about spanish foods and culture by doing a bit of research and tie that in with whatever comes out on your paper from the thought ideas. Teachers call this technic "semantic webbing" Try it. It works! [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
