There's been a snowstorm on Sesame Street and Lily and Qui can't get home to celebrate Lunar New Year. Ji-Young's family in Korea, Qui's family in Vietnam, and Lily's family in China all celebrate the same holiday. It's a special day and they're sad they're missing being at home. Just then, Ji-Young gets an idea to celebrate on Sesame Street. Alan, Elmo, and Charlie offer to help and ask what their families do to celebrate Lunar New Year. After Ji-Young, Qui, and Lily share how their families decorate, receive envelopes as gifts, and special foods they eat, they all get ready for a celebration. Alan and Ji-Young cook tteokguk, a soup with rice cakes, Charlie and Lily make red envelopes, and Qui and Elmo decorate the table with peach blossoms branches. Their families celebrate Lunar New Year by doing some things the same, and different in a lot of ways too, but they all celebrate with family and friends.

About Sesame Street:

SESAME STREET has garnered more than 100 awards, including 101 Emmys, two Peabodys, four Parents' Choice Awards and an Action for Children's Television Special Achievement Award.

The series delivers academic and social education that prepares kids for grade school.

Since its premiere, the show's base curriculum has been set by academic research on preschoolers.

Encore episodes focus on music and art and how these tools can be used to develop the whole child - the cognitive, social, emotional and physical attributes.

In addition, "Elmo's World," which looks at the world through the eyes of a three-year-old, continues as a featured segment.

Themes include birthdays, pets, teeth, families, games and more.
