How to Celebrate Like a Pro (Even If Youâre New!)
- Decorate with Red & Gold: Swap out your usual decor for red lanterns and gold accents. Red wards off bad luck, and gold? Well, who doesnât love a little extra prosperity?
- Feast Smart: Skip the takeout and try making dumplings or niangao (sticky rice cake). Pro tip: Hide a coin in a dumpling for luckâjust donât break a tooth!
- Wear Something New: Out with the old, in with the bold! Snag an outfit with snake motifs or go classic with traditional qipaos.
Psst⌠If youâre in cities like San Francisco, London, or Toronto, check out paradesâtheyâre next-level!
Wait, Why Do Dates Change Every Year?
Great question! Lunar New Year follows the moonâs calendar, so it shifts between January 21 and February 20. For 2025, mark your calendars: January 29th is the big day! (Oops, almost forgot to add the year thereâsee, even I make mistakes! đ )
