Many countries celebrate Lunar New Year, but in Vietnam, Tết Nguyên Đán, Vietnam’s Lunar New Year, is considered a “mega event” holiday. Think of it as if Christmas, New Year’s, Easter, and Thanksgiving all made a group chat to plan one giant, spectacular bash. It’s a time for reflection, reconnection, and resolutions, all wrapped in centuries of culture and tradition. Tết transforms everyday routines into meaningful rituals. Buying groceries? Suddenly an event. Cleaning the house? A spiritual cleanse.
