How Vietnamese Celebrities Celebrate the Lunar New Year with Family Traditions

Lunar New Year, or Tet, is the most significant festival in Vietnam, and even the biggest stars take a break from their busy schedules to return home. This year, fans were treated to a glimpse of how their favorite celebrities, including My Tam, H'Hen Nie, and Noo Phuoc Thinh, prepare for the festivities. For many, Tet is not about the glitz and glamour of the stage, but about the simple joys of family reunions and traditional rituals. My Tam, the 'Queen of V-Pop,' continues her long-standing tradition of making 'banh tet' (cylindrical glutinous rice cake) and 'mut dua' (candied coconut) by hand. These activities are a staple in Vietnamese households, and seeing a superstar engage in them reminds fans of the importance of preserving cultural heritage.

Meanwhile, Miss Universe Vietnam H'Hen Nie shared her excitement about returning to her village to help her family clean and decorate their home. In Vietnamese culture, cleaning the house before the New Year is believed to wash away the bad luck of the previous year and welcome fresh energy. Noo Phuoc Thinh also shared his 'workout' for the season, which involved moving 30 pots of chrysanthemums, 6 pots of apricot blossoms, and numerous other flowers to decorate his residence. The visual of a home filled with flowers is essential for a prosperous start to the year. Other stars like Mac Van Khoa and his wife spent their time watching over the 'banh chung' pot overnight, a cozy and intimate tradition that strengthens family bonds. Even the newlywed couple Puka and Gin Tuan Kiet made sure to head back to the countryside to enjoy the authentic rural Tet atmosphere. These stories highlight that no matter how famous one becomes, the pull of home and the warmth of family during Tet remains the ultimate priority. It is a time for forgiveness, hope, and sharing meals with loved ones, a sentiment that resonates deeply with audiences across the globe who value family and tradition.
