Lunar New Year 2026 was a limited-time Shop promotion by VRChat, tied to the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Horse.[1][2] It added a themed shelf of items, portals, a warp effect, stickers, and emojis. A free VRC+-exclusive credit bundle styled as a "Lucky Red Envelope" was also part of the promotion. It was the first Lunar New Year promotion in VRChat to include purchasable Shop items; the previous year's celebration in early 2025 (Year of the Snake) had offered only a free limited-time sticker set.[3]
Overview
The promotion marked the Year of the Horse with new Shop content.[1] Themed listings on the Lunar New Year shelf ran from February 17, 2026 through April 1, 2026, with lower prices on paid items for VRC+ subscribers. The February 17, 2026 YouTube video "honse update | VRChat Shop Refresh!" presented the Shop update,[1] and the February 19, 2026 Developer Update on ask.vrchat.com covering the promotion.[2]
The video ran about one minute 23 seconds, showed each item in the promotion, and featured LazyTheDinoKing and InviaWaffles.[1] Its description listed the drop as including "a new Portal, Warp Effect, Premium Emoji's, Premium Stickers and 3 new items: Lucky Coin, Firecrackers & Pallet Drum."[1]
The Lucky Red Envelope was later offered on its own as a free Shop redemption for VRC+ subscribers for a limited time,[4] granting 
399. The same day, VRChat's Threads account posted about the envelope.[5]
The envelope was first set to grant 400, but the reward was changed to 399 before broader availability. The reduction reflected tetraphobia: in some East Asian cultures the word for "four" sounds like the word for "death."[6] Some users who redeemed on February 19, 2026, before the change, received 400 instead of 399.[7] Per Shop listing data, the Lucky Red Envelope was listed from February 18, 2026 through April 1, 2026.

Descrições dos Itens
The promotional video showed the Festival Gate as a traditional paifang that served as a portal. The Good Fortune Coin carried a horse design and could be flipped. The Firecrackers were interactive and produced explosions. The Pellet Drum (also called a den-den daiko) could be spun to produce sound. The Lucky Lantern surrounded warp with a swirl of floating lanterns as the user appeared or disappeared.[1]
