Holiday Traditions: Asian Snacks as Cultural Celebrations

While many holiday traditions and celebrations have been performed for years, there's always an opportunity to create new ones! If you have younger kids in the family, you can use Asian grocery snacks to teach them about other celebrations and holidays in Asia. For example, it's a great time to teach kids about the Winter Solstice or New Year's celebrations in various Asian countries.

Trying new snacks together can also mean creating new memories together. This tradition could include eating a new Asian snack every day. Or, maybe it could include enjoying the same new snack together each year. There are many ways to create new food-centered traditions the whole family will love.
