Tet – The Vietnamese Lunar New Year Tet, or the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, is the most important and widely celebrated festival in Vietnam. It usually takes place between late January and mid-February, depending on the lunar calendar. Tet marks the arrival of spring and is a time for family reunions, honoring ancestors, and welcoming a new year full of luck and prosperity. People prepare for Tet weeks in advance by cleaning their homes, buying new clothes, and decorating with peach blossoms, kumquat trees, and red banners. One of the most significant traditions of Tet is making and eating bánh chưng (square sticky rice cake) in the North and bánh tét (cylindrical sticky rice cake) in the South. These special cakes symbolize gratitude to ancestors and the importance of family. Families also
visit temples, offer food to ancestors, and give lì xì (lucky money) to children and the elderly to wish them happiness and good fortune. During Tet, people travel back to their hometowns to celebrate with loved ones. It is a time of joy, laughter, and feasting. Traditional games, lion dances, and fireworks displays create a festive atmosphere. Many people also avoid arguing or saying negative things, as they believe it may bring bad luck for the entire year. Although Tet is a joyful occasion, it also brings some challenges.
