Chinese New Year in Malaysia is a whirlwind of activity. From family reunions to hosting back-to-back open houses, it’s a time to celebrate, reconnect, and create unforgettable memories. But with all the hustle and bustle, staying energised throughout the 15-day marathon of festivities can be challenging. This is where PepsiCo comes in, offering practical tips, nutritional support, and exciting campaigns to ensure that you remain at your best throughout the celebrations.
Staying Energised with PepsiCo: Your Ultimate CNY Survival Guide
1. Fuel Up with a Nutritious Start
The key to staying energised during Chinese New Year is starting your day with a wholesome breakfast. After enjoying late-night feasts and endless rounds of delicacies, a fibre-rich breakfast can help replenish your energy and keep you full for longer. Quaker oats, with its 7X more fibre, not only supports digestion but provides the lasting energy needed for the busy day ahead.
In addition, Quaker’s “Jom Quaker Fit” initiative ensures that Malaysians have access to gyms, physiotherapy, and spas, encouraging you to stay active and well-rested during this busy season. Whether you’re hosting or travelling from house to house, these wellness offerings make it easier to stay on top of your health journey.

2. Stay Hydrated to Beat the Heat
The Malaysian sun can be relentless during Chinese New Year, especially when you’re hopping from one house to another. Dehydration can quickly take a toll on your energy levels, so staying hydrated is essential. Gatorade is an ideal choice to keep you refreshed and replace electrolytes lost through physical activity. Whether you’re out visiting or hosting guests, a bottle of Gatorade ensures you stay cool and energised throughout the day.
3. Keep Hosting Simple and Enjoyable
Hosting open houses during Chinese New Year can feel overwhelming, especially when you have to juggle multiple tasks. To make it stress-free, focus on serving easy-to-prepare snacks and beverages that allow you to spend more time with your guests. Lay’s chips, a fan favourite, are perfect for complementing your traditional CNY snacks. Lay’s chips not only add a fun twist to the usual fare, but they also work great as toppings during the festive Yee Sang. Stock your fridge with a variety of Pepsi drinks to keep your guests refreshed, and keep the conversations flowing smoothly.
