Tet Nguyen Dan (commonly called Tet) is the Vietnamese Lunar New Year and the most important holiday in Vietnam. It falls on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, usually between late January and mid-February.

Is the Tet date the same every year?

No. Because Tet follows the lunisolar calendar, its Gregorian date shifts each year. It typically falls between January 20 and February 20.

Are the dates in this tool accurate?

Yes. The dates are pre-computed from established lunisolar calendar algorithms and cross-referenced with official Vietnamese holiday announcements through 2035.

Why does my countdown differ slightly from another site?

Small differences can occur based on which moment the new lunar month officially begins in the Vietnam Standard Time (UTC+7) time zone. This tool uses midnight Vietnam time as the Tet start.

What animal year does each Tet celebrate?

Each year in the Vietnamese zodiac (12-year cycle) is associated with an animal. The table on this page lists the zodiac animal alongside each Tet date.
