Tết Holiday in Vietnam

The Vietnamese Lunar New Year is a huge part of Pixelz's history and tradition. It is something we are very proud to be part of each year. 

The Vietnamese Lunar New Year, known locally as Tết, is the celebration of the arrival of spring following the Vietnamese Lunar calendar. It is the most important holiday of the year for the people of Vietnam. During Tết, people often go home to their families and spend the week reflecting on the past year and looking forward to what the new year holds.

On the first day of Tết, people will spend time with their immediate families, and on the subsequent days, they will visit their friends, relatives, and teachers who hold an important standing in Vietnamese culture. In any celebration like this, food plays a critical part. People cook many different types of special dishes like Bánh Chưng (a traditional dish made from rice, green bean, and pork, covered in banana leaves, and represents the Earth) and Bánh Dầy (made from sticky rice, Vietnamese pork sausage, and represents the Sky).

Each Lunar New Year has an animal associated with it. 2023 is the year of the Cat. The zodiac sign Cat is a symbol of beauty, intelligence, and ambition. People born in a year of the Cat are predicted to be confident, agile, and ambitious and have tremendous willpower. As such, we wish you, in 2023, to be agile and confident enough to achieve your ambitious goals with great willpower. 

Delivery Plan during Tết

This year, Tết falls on January 22nd. This means most of our colleagues in Vietnam will be away celebrating with their families and friends during the weekend. To accommodate this local tradition, we have decided to close down production in Vietnam on January 21st and 22nd and gradually come back with ~45% capacity on Monday, January 23rd. That means that we have done our best to minimize the effect of this local holiday on your turnaround times. 

On Tuesday, January 24th, everyone will be back well-rested and ready to catch up on orders coming in during the weekend and Monday. Also, the Expedite and FLOW services will not be available during week 4 (January 23rd to 29th). Thank you for your understanding and support during this holiday!

If you have any images that need priority during that time or have any questions, you are more than welcome to contact our Support Team at cs@pixelz.com or reach out to your Customer Success Manager, and we will do our best to accommodate your request. 

Happy Year of the Cat!
