If eating desserts at Lunar New Year helps to guarantee a sweet year ahead, you'll want to load up on the best new year's treats in Toronto before you ring in the Year of the Ox.
Celebrated in many Asian countries, the Lunar New Year is one of the most important festivals of the year. Marked by several traditions, feasting is one of the cornerstones of any Lunar New Year celebration. Reason enough, if you ask us, to join in.
To welcome the Year of the Ox, which arrives on Friday, February 12, you'll want the tastiest Lunar New Year treats that Toronto has to offer. Though we've yet to see what this new year will bring, eat your weight in tasty orange- and red-hued new year treats, and there's every chance that it'll be better than the last.
