Lunar New Year
U.K. broadcaster Channel 4‘s long-running series “Hollyoaks” is bringing in the Lunar New Year in style with a special episode, the first celebration of the festival in U.K. TV soap history. The episode features the Chen-Williams, the first British-East Asian family in a U.K. soap and the newest family in the show. Within the episode viewers get an insight into some of the traditions associated with the Lunar New Year and how the family choose to celebrate. Family matriarch Honour (played by Vera Chok) gifts her daughter a lucky red envelope and the celebrations peak with a lion dance and meal hosted at The Dog in The Pond pub. During the meal Honour points out that Lunar New Year celebrations are a time for families to eat and enjoy each other’s company, and not always about the commercialized aspect often seen in the Western world.
