New Year visit

Seasonal social call

A New Year visit is a social call made during the first days of the new year, a tradition in many cultures where family, friends, or neighbors exchange greetings and well-wishes.

In East Asian traditions, these visits often involve gifts, food, and red envelopes: We spent the holiday making New Year visits to all the aunts and uncles.
