Celebrate Chuseok with Shuttle: Tradition, Togetherness, and Thoughtful Gifts

Celebrate Chuseok with Shuttle: Tradition, Togetherness, and Thoughtful Gifts

Every autumn, families across Korea gather to celebrate Chuseok (추석)—one of the country’s most important holidays. Sometimes called “Korean Thanksgiving,” Chuseok is a time to honor ancestors, share seasonal food, and spend time with loved ones.

Food plays a central role: songpyeon (half-moon rice cakes), freshly harvested fruits, and hearty home meals are staples of the holiday. But beyond food on the table, Chuseok is also about gift-giving—a way to express gratitude, respect, and good wishes for the coming year.

This year’s holiday season is shaping up to be one of the longest in recent memory. It begins with National Foundation Day (개천절) on October 3rd, followed by the official Chuseok holidays from October 5th to 8th, and then Hangul Day (한글날) on October 9th. For those able to take Friday, October 4th off, that means a potential 10 consecutive days of rest—a rare opportunity for extended family gatherings, travel, or simply enjoying more time at home.

The Tradition of Chuseok Gifts

Exchanging gifts during Chuseok is a way to strengthen bonds with family, friends, and colleagues. Classic presents include premium fruit baskets, high-quality meats, or health products like ginseng and honey. In recent years, gift sets have become more diverse, reflecting both traditional tastes and modern lifestyles.
