Without a sound, December steps into our life. With the new year approaching day after day, the enthusiasm of people from around the world about new year is becoming higher and higher. We will welcome the coming of Heavy Snow and Winter Solstice during this month, which means that the weather is becoming colder and colder. For many Chinese people, eating dumpling and drinking mutton soup have been a ritual to drive away coldness in the day of Winter Solstice. During the 24th and 25th of December, you will find Santa Claus in almost every street and lane, even at home, family members sit under the Christmas tree to exchange gifts. In the last day of December, what almost everyone would do is to is to wait for the bell of new year, then make the first wish for the new year.
Can we break the convention to celebrate such a special December in a unique way?

In December, Western cuisine meets traditional Chinese craftsmanship
December has arrived quietly. As the New Year approaches day by day, people around the world are becoming increasingly excited with various celebrations to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. During this month, we will encounter “Major Snow” and the Winter Solstice among China’s 24 solar terms, signaling colder weather. On the Winter Solstice, many Chinese people eat dumplings and drink lamb soup as a ritual to ward off the cold. On the 24th and 25th, Santa Claus appears in streets, alleys, and even at home, as families gather around the Christmas tree to share gifts they have been waiting for all year. On the last day of December, everyone does the same thing—waiting for the New Year’s bell to ring and making their first wish of the new year…
