The 12th February 2021 is the beginning of Lunar New Year, and this year is the year of the Ox. Often referred to as the Spring Festival in China, the festivities last for 15 days and end with the Lantern Festival. Many neighbouring peoples also celebrate Lunar New Year, including Tết in Vietnam, Losar in Tibet, and Seollal in Korea.

If you’d like to celebrate Lunar New Year by creating a video to share goodwill with your friends, family, clients, or anyone else, then here are three of our favourite After Effects templates from Envato Market and Envato Elements.
