Lunar New Year falls on Jan. 25 this year, prompting more than 1.5 billion people around the world to celebrate with family and traditional foods.
While the customs vary between Asian cultures, the holiday marks the beginning of a new year on the second new moon after the winter solstice.
People of Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean descent — to name a few — often give children money and honor ancestors during the festivities of different lengths. In China, the Spring Festival lasts up to 15 days, while Vietnam's Tết Nguyên Đán goes for up to a week. Lunar New Year in South Korea, known as Seollal, runs for three days.
