1. Watch Fireworks Together
Watching fireworks with your loved one is a dream for many, as you both hold hands under the bright, colorful display in the sky. It’s a moment of true happiness.
During this special time, whisper what you hope your partner will change in the new year or share a sweet kiss. It's a moment you’ll cherish as the happiest of all.


2. Start a Party with Friends on New Year's Eve
For couples who love lively parties, New Year's Eve is the perfect time to shout and celebrate with your close friends. Prepare a cozy, not-too-elaborate party where everyone gathers to reminisce about the past year.
Share funny stories and look forward to the new year together. You'll find that even your friends can be surprisingly adorable at times.


3. Wear Matching Outfits
Most couples want to be open about their relationship and receive acceptance from others. Sometimes, it's simply about teasing your single friends. But in reality, wearing matching outfits during Tết is something every couple should do. Being in sync, both physically and emotionally, strengthens the bond and connection between you two.
Try wearing matching outfits or shoes with your partner and take photos together during Tết. It will be a beautiful memory. Having someone to share this rhythm with is truly something to celebrate. Pairing items together helps couples feel more connected and emotionally close.


4. Cook Together
There’s no denying that the feeling of both of you working together in the kitchen to prepare a meal for Tết is incredibly heartwarming. It’s like building a little home together, creating your own family, without the traditional gender roles of women in the kitchen and men outside.
If you and your partner have done this before, or maybe many times, then congratulations – you’ve already taken a step forward into a new chapter of your love journey!


5. Volunteer Together
When in love, both partners want to publicly share with the world that they are a couple. This openness makes the relationship more mature and enduring. If you’re in love, it’s natural to make things public. But how you go about sharing your relationship is what matters. If you’re not comfortable posting about it on social media, invite your partner to join you in activities with your friends or family instead.
When people seek connection, it’s through interaction and getting to know each other. This is also a chance for you two to learn more about each other and your wider relationships. Volunteer together at social or charitable events during Tết, visiting places to help those in need. It’s a wonderful way to create lasting memories and experience the warmth and joy of giving back together.


6. Introduce Each Other to Both Families
Tết is a time for family to come together and reunite. It’s the perfect occasion for you and your partner to introduce each other to both sides of your families.
Don’t be surprised or anxious if your partner suddenly invites you to visit their parents and relatives during this time. It may be a sign that your relationship is moving to the next level.


7. Sit Down Together and Set Goals for the New Year
After a year filled with both ups and downs, this is the perfect time for you both to sit down and reflect on the past while making plans for the coming year.
In a relationship, communication is a fundamental need that helps both of you understand each other better. It’s about putting yourself in the other person’s shoes and striving together. In these moments, aside from being lovers, you can also be each other’s best friend, allowing the conversation to flow more comfortably.


8. Write Something for Your Partner
It doesn’t need to be a long, elaborate letter—just a few heartfelt words like, ‘Thank you for being with me this New Year’s Eve,’ or ‘I’m so happy to have you here with me,’ can add a touch of romance to your relationship.
There’s no need to wait until you're physically far apart to write something sweet. You can leave a note even when your partner is right there with you. If expressing your feelings is hard, slip the note into their jacket pocket. They’ll surely feel touched when they read your words.


9. Visit a Temple Together
According to the saying, ‘where there is worship, there is sanctity; where there is respect, there is blessing,’ the start of the new year is the perfect time for couples to visit a temple, pray, and wish for their love to remain strong and everlasting.
In many Asian countries, including Vietnam, Buddhism is revered, and it’s believed that visiting a temple at the beginning of the year with sincerity will bring peace and happiness for the year ahead.


10. Visit a Meaningful Place Together
If possible, take a walk down streets or visit a place that holds special meaning for both of you, somewhere that feels familiar and significant.
It doesn’t have to be an intimate spot—what matters is the emotions it evokes for both of you. Starting the new year together at a place tied to your shared memories is a beautiful way to begin.
