The Chinatown dragon dance parade is one of the most exciting parts of the celebration where colorfully crafted dragons will dance from store to store, lighting firecrackers in order to drive away evil spirits and bring properity and good luck. This item is just a paper decoration, but you can find real firecrackers in all of the usual places.

It's typical to wear something red and something new during Chinese New Year. The color scares away evil spirits and bad fortune.

Tangerines and oranges are usually set in bowls around New Years symbolizing good luck and wealth. There's a linguistic pun in the word "tangerine" because it sounds like "good luck" in Chinese.

I'm not sure why I always see Ferrero Rocher chocolates in the Tray of Togetherness, but my guess it has something to do with the gold wrappers being associated with wealth or fortune. Anyway, I find them to be one of my favorites of the candy tray and pretty much acceptable for all occasions!

I often see these in the Tray of Togetherness. I don't think it has any traditional symbolism, but generally is in hopes of a "sweet" year of fortune.

My favorite part of Chinese New Year celebrations is watching the dragon dance. It's intense and dramatic with colorful dancing dragons, drums and cymbals, firecrackers, and people parading after it.

I found this one as part of an IKEA collection, but the more traditional trays are available in Chinatown shops. Each food is symbolic for various types of good fortune. My mom always put a red envelope (lucky money) in the center.
