Tết has long been an important tradition that represents Vietnamese culture. On this day, we reunite with family members from different generations to celebrate a new beginning. This upcoming new year is even more special as we are finally able to rejoin and celebrate Tết together after a tumultuous year.
Tết, short for Tết Nguyên Đán, is the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, the most important holiday in Vietnamese culture. Tết celebrates the arrival of a new spring where families reunite, enjoy each other’s company, forget about the troubles of the previous year and look forward to a better upcoming year.
