And this is the part most people miss: the attention to detail in each piece tells a story, from Horace Horsecollar’s playful appearances to the intricate lantern patterns that tie everything together. Let’s dive into the full list—with prices—and uncover why this collection is a must-see for both Disney fans and cultural enthusiasts alike.
Lunar New Year 2026 Merchandise: A Cultural Extravaganza
We discovered this treasure trove at the Los Feliz Five and Dime, where every item feels like a piece of art. Here’s the breakdown:
Collectibles
Mickey Plush – $29.99: Standing 17 inches tall, this Mickey plush is a showstopper. Dressed in a red satin tunic with gold filigree and horse motifs, paired with yellow satin pants featuring a blossom print, he’s the epitome of Lunar New Year charm. Fun fact: This plush is also available at Walt Disney World and online, so you can snag one no matter where you are. But here’s a question: Is this plush a collectible or a cuddly companion? Let us know in the comments!
Limited Release Pin – $21.99: This pin is a tiny masterpiece, featuring a red base with a yellow border, metallic clouds, and a dangling trio of lanterns. It’s a subtle yet striking way to celebrate the occasion. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is $21.99 too much for a pin, or is it a small price for a piece of Disney magic?
Home Goods
Red Envelopes (Pack of 6) – $19.99: These aren’t your average envelopes. One side features a lantern pattern with Disney California Adventure park icons, while the reverse showcases Horace Horsecollar surrounded by gold lettering. Perfect for gifting, but here’s a thought: Are these envelopes too beautiful to give away?
Ceramic Cup – $19.99: This red ceramic cup is a feast for the eyes, with a gold rim, fireworks patterns, and Mickey and Minnie in Korean-inspired outfits on one side. Flip it over, and you’ll find Horace peeking out of the zero in ‘2026.’ But here’s the question: Will you use it for your morning coffee or display it as art?
Accessories
Ear Headband – $34.99: These padded ears are a statement piece, featuring a golden grid print with lanterns and embroidered flowers. The removable bow, adorned with a plush lantern and pearls, adds a touch of elegance. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is this headband a must-have accessory or a bit too over-the-top for everyday wear?
Loungefly Crossbody and Coin Purse – $75: This set is a fashionista’s dream. The crossbody bag features Mickey and Minnie in their Lunar New Year outfits, while the coin purse showcases Horace in all his glory. But here’s the debate: Is $75 a fair price for this stylish duo?
Apparel
Spirit Jersey – $84.99: This red jersey is a head-turner, with a metallic gold Lunar New Year design on the back and a lantern pattern across the bottom. But here’s the question: Is it worth the splurge, or is it just another jersey?
Mickey & Minnie T-Shirt – $36.99: This red tee features Mickey and Minnie in gold circles, surrounded by park icons and lanterns. It’s a classic, but here’s the controversy: Is it too festive for year-round wear?
Lucky Foods T-Shirt – $36.99: Inspired by traditional Lunar New Year foods, this gray shirt is both cute and cultural. But here’s the debate: Is it a fun nod to tradition or just another graphic tee?
Horace Horsecollar Jersey – $74.99: This baseball-style jersey is a bold statement, with Horace front and center. But here’s the question: Is it a home run or a strikeout?
Magic Key Exclusives
Magic Key Exclusive Tee – $36.99: This red shirt features Horace in all his ‘Year of the Horse’ glory, with Magic Key and Disneyland Resort wordmarks. But here’s the controversy: Is it exclusive enough to justify the price?
Magic Key Exclusive Pin – $21.99: This limited-release pin is a collector’s dream, but here’s the debate: Is it a must-have or just another pin for the collection?
