Tet Holiday – Vietnam’s Most Important Celebration
Tet Holiday, also known as the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, is the most
significant festival in Vietnam. It usually takes place in late January or early
February, based on the lunar calendar. Tet is a time for family reunions, paying
respect to ancestors, and welcoming a prosperous new year. People clean their
houses to remove bad luck and decorate them with peach blossoms, kumquat
trees, and red banners symbolizing good fortune.
Before Tet, families prepare traditional foods such as bánh chưng (square sticky
rice cake) and bánh tét (cylindrical sticky rice cake). These special dishes are
made from sticky rice, pork, and green beans, wrapped in banana leaves.
People also buy new clothes and give lì xì (lucky money) to children and the
elderly as a wish for good health and happiness. The festive atmosphere fills
the streets with lion dances, fireworks, and bustling markets.
During Tet, people visit relatives, friends, and neighbors to exchange good
wishes. They say phrases like “Chúc Mừng Năm Mới” (Happy New Year) and “An
Khang Thịnh Vượng” (Wishing you peace and prosperity). Temples and pagodas
are also popular destinations, where people pray for a year of luck and success.
Tet is a time of joy, but it also marks a new beginning. After the celebrations,
