Happy Holidays!

To wish anyone Happy New Year or Happy Birthday, just add 快乐 (kuàilè, happy) after the special day!​

The most important holiday in China is the Chinese New Year, also known as 春节 (chūnjié), the Spring Festival. It’s a time for family reunions, big feasts, and red envelopes with money! There are red decorations everywhere, colorful lion dances to bring good luck, and firecrackers to chase evil spirits away!​

新年快乐！​
Xīnnián kuàilè!​
Happy New Year!​
