According to the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art, Lunar New Year is a celebration of the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar. It’s the most important holiday in China, but museum officials say it’s also widely celebrated in other countries like South Korea and Vietnam.2025 is the year of the snake in the Chinese zodiac, an animal that is described as alert, calm and smart. The fifteen-day celebration begins on Jan. 29, and we’ve noticed while scouring shops online that there are a number of Lunar New Year themed items out there to mark the annual celebration of good luck and fortune. Below is a list of some of those collections we found online. Note that they are listed in alphabetical order.

It’s a limited edition collection that’s only available online.
