As Laba Festival arrives on January 26, 2026, families across China enjoy Laba congee, a nourishing porridge made with grains, beans, nuts, and dried fruits.
As the saying goes, “After Laba Festival comes the Chinese New Year.” Traditionally, this day marks the start of the year-end period, when households begin preparing for the Spring Festival by stocking up on ingredients for New Year’s Eve dinner, writing couplets, making paper-cut window decorations, and buying New Year paintings, lanterns, firecrackers, and candles.
