How Vietnamese New Year is celebrated While the Western world celebrated the new year on January 1, for some cultures, the new year has yet to begin.
People in Vietnam and Vietnamese people around the world will celebrate the lunar new year with a festival that focuses on family, food and welcoming in good luck for the year to come.
And although it falls on the same day, Tết differs from the Chinese New Year as Vietnam has its own zodiac and set of new year beliefs and traditions.
In Vietnam, people celebrate the new year with a festival called Tết.
Tết, short for Tết Nguyên Đán, is the Vietnamese celebration of lunar new year.
