The joyful festive atmosphere of these days makes young people eagerly wait for it 2 months in advance, when the solar year is still a few weeks away from ending.

However, because this is only the Tet holiday in anticipation, young people only cook banh chung online and both the pot and the cake, the stove and the firewood are all handmade paper models, cut, arranged, drawn, colored... very pretty and pleasing to the eye. Even in many clips, the blazing red fire to cook banh chung "burns" from the phone screen.

The ingenuity of TikTokers is shown in the meticulously decorated paper banh chung pots, with many eye-catching designs and colors. Some people meticulously show every detail from the cake leaves to the strings.

To add more liveliness, netizens do not forget to combine typical Tet songs into their videos. The cheerful music with the bustling melodies of familiar songs such as "Tet dong day"; "Tet la Tet" or "Ngay Tet que em" create an exciting, expectant atmosphere.

This trend spread quickly on the TikTok platform and attracted more and more participants. Videos of making banh chung with paper received thousands of likes and shares, becoming a highlight on social media platforms in recent days. Related hashtags such as #trendnaubanhchungbanggiay and #trendlamnoibanhchung became popular, attracting millions of views.

Many people expressed their excitement about this idea: "I really like Tet, I can't eat much banh chung but every time I mention it, I miss it. Just because I love Tet, watching paper banh chung cooking online is enough to make me excited"; "Browsing TikTok, I see a lot of videos of making banh chung out of paper, all the videos are good and creative"; "Watching these videos makes me feel like Tet is coming, I want to wrap real banh chung"; "Can you guys show me how to fold banh chung, I've been looking for it but can't figure out how to fold it"...
