On January 29th we celebrate the Lunar New Year, which isn’t confined to Asia; you’ll find joyous festivities in countries like China, Vietnam and Korea, as well as in Chinatowns across the world.

Whether you observe traditional ceremonies at home, join bustling street parades, or simply share a meal with loved ones, the Lunar New Year is a time to spread joy, strengthen bonds, and look forward to the blessings of a fresh start.

Chinese Zodiac Year

Each year is dedicated to one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac. Coming up in 2025 is the Year of the Snake, and those born under this sign are often seen as intelligent, charming, and intuitive.

Lucky Red

Throughout the holiday, you’ll see the color red everywhere—symbolizing luck, prosperity, and protection against misfortune. If you’re lucky, you might receive red envelopes containing money from family or friends, a gesture meant to extend good fortune into the new year.
