Are you ready to celebrate the Lunar New Year? If not, we’ve got you covered when preparing your feast for the occasion. Also known as Chinese New Year, Lunar New Year 2023 kicks off on Sunday, January 22, and ushers in the Year of the Rabbit. The 15-day celebration signifies the start of the lunar-solar calendar, a time spent honoring the household, heavenly deities and ancestors. Those who celebrate partake in activities and traditions that ring in the holiday, like festivals, lion and dragon dances, flower market shopping and, of course, an indulgent meal.
Most Chinese New Year foods symbolize goals and manifestations for the year ahead — longevity noodles (good fortune), Nian Goa (progress), Peking duck (loyalty) and dumplings (wealth) all serve some symbolic purpose on the table.
