“Firecrackers ignite as Barbie steps into the Lunar New Year festival! The sixth doll in the Lunar New Year series, Barbie doll is resplendent in red to celebrate the fifteen-day holiday that sweeps out the old and ushers in good fortune for the year ahead. A golden floral print symbolizes this optimism with peonies, representing wealth, honor and elegance.”
Designed by Joyce Chen, the 2026 Lunar New Year Barbie is available now for $55 USD and can be found from multiple retailers. The doll features the Mackie face sculpt on a model muse body.
“Barbie honors the traditions of the Lunar New Year with this latest holiday doll, dressed for a celebration in an elegant gown artfully designed with symbolic details. Draped in bright red, she’s channeling extra luck, while a gold peony print portrays the symbols of prosperity and honor. The gown’s bodice features a fan-like design, a stylistic interpretation of the fans used in traditional dances and given as gifts for the Lunar New Year. The look is finished with a sheer golden shawl, bold earrings with traditional Chinese symbology, and a stunning long sleek hairstyle. “
