How is Chinese New Year celebrated around the globe?

The global celebrations are an explosion of light and sound, involving bell ringing, lighting firecrackers and watching traditional lion dances. Chinese families gather together for a reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, and clean their houses to sweep away bad fortune on New Year’s Day.

Traditionally, kids would be given red envelopes stuffed with ‘lucky money’ and positive wishes on New Year’s Day. Some teens now have red envelope apps, so their relatives can transfer cash digitally.

KeepCalling.com Facebook contest is another international way to celebrate the Chinese New Year, since anyone can join the fun, share the photo, and enter the race for $10 international calls, that can be used to call all countries.
