The most notable and most anticipated thing of Tao Quan 2025 is the return of a series of artists who have been associated with and created the brand "Meeting at the end of the year" for over 20 years, such as People's Artist Quoc Khanh, Meritorious Artist Chi Trung, Meritorious Artist Quang Thang, People's Artist Tu Long, and artist Van Dung.

This year, the Tao Quan revolves around the story of the plan to merge and streamline the Heavenly Court. The Taos who go to the Jade Emperor are wondering whether they will be able to keep their "Tao position" or will be "erased" and "merged" with other Taos. They all prepare very carefully for the report to demonstrate their abilities to the Jade Emperor, thereby stabilizing their positions. However, when they arrive, the Taos are "shocked" when the Jade Emperor makes a series of unexpected changes that leave them unable to react.

A contest was created by Heaven, but unlike previous contests such as “Apple Flower”, “Winning a Seat”, “Rotation of Corruption”… when the Taos directly competed, this time, the role of the Taos was to “hold the scales of justice”, finding talented people for Heaven. From here, many prominent issues and events in many areas of social life were recreated vividly and gracefully through the exchanges between Taos and contestants, the questioning words of the Jade Emperor, the rhythmic direction of the Economic - Health duo, the experience and cleverness of the Traffic Tao or the flexible transformation through the singing of the Social Tao. Also from this contest, the Jade Emperor realized that many Taos still had the mentality of “keeping their seats”, did not want to change, and their words did not go hand in hand with their actions.

Besides criticism, the Jade Emperor also affirmed the commendable efforts of the Kitchen Gods throughout the past year in all professions and fields to overcome difficulties and challenges so that Heaven can develop and stabilize.

The Jade Emperor hopes that the Kitchen Gods will be united and unanimously not only guardians but also creators, building a clean, strong Heaven with an efficient apparatus and reaching new heights.

“Meeting at the end of the year – Tao Quan 2025” still retains the strengths that are the program's trademark, such as diverse parodies of music genres, satire, and criticism. Behind the laughter are many things worth pondering.
