There's been a snowstorm on Sesame Street and Lily and Qui can't get home to celebrate Lunar New Year. Ji-Young's family in Korea, Qui's family in Vietnam, and Lily's family in China all celebrate the same holiday. It's a special day and they're sad they're missing being at home. Just then, Ji-Young gets an idea to celebrate on Sesame Street. Alan, Elmo, and Charlie offer to help and ask what their families do to celebrate Lunar New Year. After Ji-Young, Qui, and Lily share how their families decorate, receive envelopes as gifts, and special foods they eat, they all get ready for a celebration. Alan and Ji-Young cook tteokguk, a soup with rice cakes, Charlie and Lily make red envelopes, and Qui and Elmo decorate the table with peach blossoms branches. Their families celebrate Lunar New Year by doing some things the same, and different in a lot of ways too, but they all celebrate with family and friends.
