Chinese New Year in Malaysia is an exciting time of year filled with family gatherings, delicious food, and plenty of celebrations. However, all the travel, hosting, and back-to-back open houses can be physically demanding. With the right strategies and a bit of planning, it’s possible to stay energized and make the most of this joyful season. PepsiCo offers a range of tips, products, and festive campaigns to help you power through the festivities and stay on top of your game.
How to Keep Your Energy Up for the Festive Marathon
1. Start Your Day with a Balanced Breakfast
One of the keys to sustaining energy throughout the day is beginning with a healthy, high-fibre breakfast. After late nights of feasting, a nutritious meal can help you stay full and fuel your body for the long day ahead. Quaker oats, with 7X more fibre, provide long-lasting energy, help regulate your digestion, and support heart health, making them an ideal choice for starting the day right. Whether you’re hosting guests or hopping from one house to another, Quaker ensures you stay nourished and ready for whatever the day brings.
Additionally, Quaker’s “Jom Quaker Fit” programme provides wellness benefits such as access to gyms, physiotherapy, and spa services, helping you stay healthy and active throughout the festive season. These wellness options are perfect whether you’re at home or on the go.
2. Stay Hydrated to Combat the Heat
Malaysia’s tropical climate, combined with the physical demands of CNY celebrations, can leave you feeling drained. Staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining energy, especially when you’re on the move. Gatorade is a great way to replenish electrolytes lost during all the activity, keeping you cool and revitalised. Whether you’re hosting or out visiting friends and family, Gatorade ensures you remain hydrated and ready to keep going.
3. Make Hosting Effortless and Enjoyable
Hosting can be overwhelming, especially when there’s so much to do during the busy festive season. One way to make hosting simpler is to focus on easy-to-serve snacks and beverages. Lay’s chips, a classic favourite, pair wonderfully with festive foods and make the perfect treat for guests. Whether it’s as a snack or a topping for traditional dishes like Yee Sang, Lay’s adds a fun element to the celebration. Plus, having a variety of Pepsi beverages in your fridge will keep everyone refreshed and allow for smooth, ongoing conversations during your open house.
4. Enjoy Special Rewards and Festive Surprises with PepsiCo
PepsiCo is offering a range of exciting promotions this Chinese New Year to make your celebrations even more special.

5. Don’t Forget to Rest and Recharge
With all the hosting, visiting, and celebrating, it’s easy to overlook the importance of rest. However, getting enough sleep and taking breaks is essential for maintaining your energy levels. Quaker’s wellness programme makes it easier to indulge in self-care, whether that means treating yourself to a spa day or enjoying a workout session to recharge. A little time for rest and relaxation goes a long way in helping you stay refreshed for the remainder of the festive season.
