Celebrate Chinese New Year in Malaysia A Festive Marathon of Joy and Togetherness
February 6, 2025Chinese New Year in Malaysia is more than just a celebration—it’s a vibrant, 15-day journey of reunions, traditions, and making new memories with loved ones. From long road trips home to hosting endless open houses under the tropical sun, the festive season is both exhilarating and demanding.
“Chinese New Year transforms our routines into a whirlwind of activity. For years, PepsiCo has been part of these meaningful celebrations, supporting families through initiatives that bring people together,” said Aditya Ahuja, Commercial Director for PepsiCo Foods in Malaysia.
Last year, Lay’s introduced the AI Fortune-Telling Chips, sparking fun conversations among families, while Quaker’s “7X Auspicious, 7X Fibre” campaign encouraged healthier eating habits during the festive season.
“The real challenge isn’t just in preparing for CNY—it’s in keeping up the energy to fully enjoy every moment of celebration,” he added. With the right planning and smart choices, you can stay energized and make the most of this festive marathon.
As we move deeper into the celebrations, here are some practical tips to help you stay refreshed, energized, and ready to embrace every moment of Chinese New Year.
Your Chinese New Year Festive Survival Guide
1. Start Your Day Right with a Wholesome Breakfast
Late-night reunion dinners and festive snacks can throw off your health routine. A nutritious, high-fiber breakfast can help keep you energized throughout the day. Quaker Oats, with 7X more fiber, supports lasting energy, weight management, and heart health—helping you stay confident throughout the celebrations.
This year, Quaker introduces the “Jom Quaker Fit” campaign, offering Malaysians access to gyms, physiotherapy, and spa rewards to stay on track with their wellness goals while celebrating.
2. Stay Hydrated and Cool Under the Malaysian Sun
Between house visits and hosting duties, the tropical heat can leave you feeling drained. Stay refreshed with electrolyte drinks like Gatorade, which replenish lost fluids and keep you hydrated through the day’s festivities.
3. Simplify Hosting and Maximize Fun
Hosting an open house is a cherished CNY tradition, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. Stock up on ready-to-serve snacks and beverages so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time with guests.
