    RED ENVELOPE TRADITOIN 

    Have you heard of the Red Envelope Tradition?

    Gifts of red envelopes are a Chinese New Year tradition. The red color of the envelope symbolizes good luck. You can fill them with gold coins, money, or treats.

    (Speaking of Red Envelopes, check out the Red Envelope App on the Tai Pei® Facebook page for some sweet coupons, while supplies last.)

    You can definitely make your own red envelopes or grab some pre-made mini Red Envelopes from Amazon.

    CHINESE NEW YEAR ANIMALS 

    Each year, an animal is picked to symbolize that year.

    • 2021- Year of the Ox
    • 2022- Year of the Tiger
    • 2023-Year of the Rabbit
    • 2024- Year of the Dragon 

    2015 is the Year of the Sheep. Your guests will love these cute sheep treats as dessert!  To make them, simply cut out card stock legs and a face  and put them on pre-made treats you can find in the baked goods aisle.
