Gallop Into Prosperity
With the arrival of the Year of the Horse on February 17, 2026, Lunar New Year marks a time for fresh beginnings, family gatherings, and renewed hopes for prosperity. Celebrated by millions around the world, this cherished holiday is rooted in rich traditions that honor luck, wealth, and happiness setting the tone for a promising year ahead.
Surprising Traditions You'll Love
- It’s not just one day! Lunar New Year celebrations typically last 15 days, ending with the Lantern Festival.
- Red means luck. Red envelopes (called hóngbāo in China, Otoshidama in Japan, bao lì xì in Vietnam, and sebaedon in Korea) are filled with money to symbolize good fortune and ward off evil spirits.
- Each year has an animal and an element. 2026 is the Year of the Horse, associated with energy, strength, and independence.
- Fireworks have a purpose. They’re believed to scare away the mythical beast Nian and welcome luck for the year ahead.
