The Tibetan calendar year is the most solemn festival of the Tibetan people. Since the beginning of December in the Tibetan calendar, people have been busy celebrating the New Year.

In mid-December, families fry "kasai" (fruit) with ghee and flour. The Xuedon Festival is one of the traditional festivals with a long history in Tibet. In Tibetan, "snow" means yogurt, and "dun" means "banquet". Literally, "Xuedon Festival" is "a festival for eating yogurt". Later, due to the gradual evolution of the content of the Snowdon Festival activities to the Tibetan opera performance, it is also known as the "Tibetan Opera Festival".
