Happy Chinese New Year

恭喜发财

Happy New Year

2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse. The last fire horse year was 1966. The fire horse is associated with forward momentum, speaking your mind, confidence, strong emotion, and personal freedom.

The festival lasts for two weeks and is celebrated with lanterns, firecrackers, cleaning the house, and the colour red.

At the heart of the season is family. Lunar New Year’s Eve is marked by a large family dinner—an emblem of togetherness and continuity—followed by days of visiting and well-wishing. And, for children, one of the most-anticipated customs is the giving of red envelopes containing money, typically offered by elders as “lucky money,” wrapped in the holiday’s signature color.
