Every year, Hari Raya celebrations are joyous occasions that are filled with laughter, smiles, and the all-important duit raya. There are many different ways to spice up your Raya celebrations but it could be hard to think of ideas sometimes. No worries though, cause we've compiled some of our best ideas below:
 

Make yummy Raya food with your family

Every festive occasion is incomplete without food and Raya is no exception. Cook your own Raya delicacies like ketupat, lemang, rendang, satay, and kuih raya with your family! Cooking and eating delicious food will definitely bring the Raya spirit to your house.


Wear traditional clothes and have a photoshoot

Getting all dolled up for Raya is a special occasion in itself and it's the best time to wear the baju kurung or baju Melayu that's been sitting around in your closet. Gather together with your family and take photos of your loved ones looking their best!


Decorate the house with DIY arts and crafts

Show off your artistic skills by brightenening up your house with personalised decorations and greeting cards! You could also use your talents to create homemade gifts for your family and friends.


Secret gift exchanges

Secret gift exchanges don't have to be limited to Christmas only. Write down each participant's name on paper, place them in a bowl, and have each one of them pick a piece of paper up. They will have to get a gift for the person they picked. This activity is sure to be fun for everyone!


Have a rip-roaring karaoke session

Karaoke is a fantastic way to get everyone together to bring the house down! Channel your inner Kurt Cobain or Ariana Grande and flex out your vocal chords to a rapturous audience! Hairbrushes work well as microphone substitutes, but a home karaoke system will keep your family entertained for much longer.


Have a video call session with faraway relatives and friends

Thanks to technology, we can celebrate Raya with our loved ones even if they're physically far away from us! Set up a video call with the whole family and greet other relatives who aren't able to visit you in person!
