On January 19, 2025, Tokiya joined the vibrant Tet Festival of Charlotte to ring in the Lunar New Year with our community! The festival was a spectacular celebration of Vietnamese culture, tradition, and the arrival of the Year of the Snake—and we were thrilled to be part of it.
A Festival Full of Joy and Tradition
The Tet Festival of Charlotte brought together thousands of attendees for a day filled with cultural performances, traditional food, family activities, and shopping from local vendors. The energy in the convention center was electric as families celebrated the new year, children played games, and everyone enjoyed the festive atmosphere decorated with red and gold—colors symbolizing luck and prosperity.
From traditional lion dances to delicious Vietnamese cuisine, the festival honored the rich heritage of the Lunar New Year while welcoming everyone to join in the celebration.
Tokiya’s Booth: Blind Box Magic Meets Lunar New Year
At Tokiya, we brought the excitement of blind box collecting to the Tet Festival! Our booth was packed with eager collectors and curious newcomers ready to discover their next favorite figure. We were especially excited to launch our expanded blind box toy collection, featuring:
- Popmart collectibles, including the exclusive Monster Year of the Snake series
- 52 Toys with their innovative transforming figures
- Funism and other beloved blind box brands
-
- A stunning variety of characters perfect for collectors of all ages
The highlight of our day? Giving away Popmart Monster Year of the Snake blind boxes to lucky winners! The excitement on winners’ faces as they unboxed their exclusive figures was absolutely priceless. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of opening a blind box and discovering which character you got!
Introducing Feelings Bloom Flower Shop
We also had something extra special to celebrate at the festival—the official launch of Feelings Bloom, a brand-new flower shop offering unique and creative bouquets that go beyond traditional flowers!
Feelings Bloom debuted with three stunning bouquet collections:
- Dry Flower Bouquets – Elegant, long-lasting arrangements perfect for home décor or gifts that never wilt

The response was incredible! Festival-goers loved the creativity and charm of Feelings Bloom’s offerings, and many left with beautiful bouquets in hand.

Together, Tokiya and Feelings Bloom created a colorful, joyful corner of the festival that drew crowds throughout the day, blending the excitement of collectibles with the beauty of handcrafted bouquets.
Why the Lunar New Year Matters to Us
At Tokiya, we believe in celebrating the diverse cultures that make our community so special. The Lunar New Year is a time of renewal, hope, and togetherness—values we hold close to our hearts.
