Din Tai Fung is Teaming Up With Renowned Artist James Jean For a Lunar New Year Collaboration
If you plan on celebrating the Lunar New Year at Disneyland this year, Din Tai Fung will be the place to be.
The fan-favorite Downtown Disney eatery is celebrating the Lunar New Year by collaborating with renowned Taiwanese American artist James Jean, who has been tapped to create new artwork inspired by the Year of the Snake.

Here are all the details.
A Gift For Guests
Jean’s new work will be prominently featured on several limited-edition gifts for guests!
“As someone seeking to deepen my connection to my Taiwanese heritage, collaborating with Din Tai Fung is a meaningful way to celebrate our shared cultural roots and traditions,” James Jean said.

“In honor of Lunar New Year and the Year of the Snake, I created a piece that pays tribute to the holiday’s traditions and symbols, as well as our rich culture and the history of the brand. The artwork features two characters holding an auspicious fish, symbolizing abundance, and a lion dance puppet, representing tradition. Flanking them are flowers named after snakes for their resemblance—the snake gourd flower and snake’s head fritillary—alongside other fantastical flora with Xiao Long Bao soup dumplings sitting in the center as a nod to Din Tai Fung’s specialty. I hope everyone who experiences this artwork connects with its themes of harmony and togetherness during this festive season.”
Dine-In Guests Will Receive a Special Red Envelope
Beginning January 21, all Din Tai Fung locations in the United States (besides the Las Vegas location) will give traditional red envelopes (known as hóngbāo) designed by James Jean to guests who dine in.
