Lunar New Year is celebrated in several countries across Asia. In Vietnam, Tết is all about renewal, honoring the ancestors, embracing the present, and looking forward to a fresh start. It is the most important holiday of the year. Tết sets the tone for the year ahead, symbolizing hope, luck and the importance of family.
