Chúng Ta Cùng Nhau presents: Tết Lunar New Year - Vietnamese-Edmonton Gift Guide

Written By Chúng Ta Cùng Nhau Community

It’s that time again where we all buy new clothes, clean our houses, and practice greetings to welcome the new year and spring time season in Vietnam! (or continue to welcome the winter season here in Edmonton 😉)!

To celebrate Vietnamese Lunar New Year, Tết, in Edmonton, Chúng ta Cùng Nhau has put together a non-traditional, local gift buying guide for those looking to give gifts other than a Li Xi to loved ones in your life who celebrate this joyous time of year.

We’ve highlighted just a few Edmonton-based, Vietnamese businesses you can support and learn more about!

Happy Year of the Horse!

Chúc mừng năm mới!

May your 2026 be energetic, transformative and full of positive growth and change!!
