The Lunar New Year, which is observed in many Asian cultures, marks the beginning of the calendar year based on moon cycles. The celebrations vary depending on the culture, like Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and others. This year marks the Year of the Rabbit, which is associated with the symbol of the earthly branch. To mark the occasion, Ladurée Canada is releasing its exclusive Lunar New Year macaron box.
