    TODAY marks the start of Chinese New Year – a tradition rooted in the lunar calendar.

    And with 2025 being the year of the snake, why not scale up your celebrations with a shindig at home.

    Here’s how to mark the event without forking out a fortune.

    RED ALERT: During Chinese New Year, it is tradition to kit out your home with red decorations.

    If you have candles, a tablecloth or other decor in that shade, you could get it out.

    Or perhaps you could have a go at making your own.

    Simply cut red paper into strips without snipping right to the ends, then twist the paper into a circle around a lampshade.

    Traditionally, you shouldn’t clean your house on the first day of the Lunar New Year as you’re thought to be sweeping or washing away any luck brought in.

    IN FOR A PENNY: Get right into the spirit of the occasion by giving loved ones red envelopes containing cash gifts, a tradition that symbolises good luck and wishes for the year ahead.

    If you wanted to follow this custom, you can get your hands on a pack of six red envelopes and cards from Hobbycraft for £2. Just pop in a small coin and give these to your family or guests.

    FAKEAWAY: Tuck into a New Year feast with Chinese-style food.

    Tesco has a 12-piece Chinese selection, down from £3 to £2.50 with a Clubcard.
