ROYCE’ Drops New Lunar New Year Collection

As the Lunar New Year approaches, ROYCE’ returns with its 2026 Chinese New Year Collection — a seasonal release that reflects the spirit of togetherness, gratitude and fresh beginnings. Known for its meticulous Japanese craftsmanship and understated elegance, the chocolatier presents a range designed not for extravagance, but for meaningful moments shared with family, friends and colleagues.

This year’s collection draws inspiration from traditions associated with the New Year across cultures, where food becomes a way to express respect, well wishes and connection. ROYCE’ interprets this sentiment through carefully assembled assortments and festive red packaging, a colour long associated with prosperity, happiness and renewal.

Among the highlights is the ROYCE’ Sweets Osechi, a two-tiered box inspired by osechi ryori, the traditional Japanese New Year feast. Much like the celebratory meal it references, the assortment is designed to be enjoyed communally, bringing together chocolates and baked confections in a format that encourages sharing. Wrapped in elegant paper finished with a Mizuhiki knot motif, the presentation reflects a balance of tradition and modern refinement.

The CNY Red Collection continues this theme with a broad selection of ROYCE’ favourites, housed in packaging decorated with plum blossoms — a symbol of resilience and new beginnings. The assortment offers variety and familiarity, making it well suited to reunion gatherings or thoughtful seasonal gestures.

For those seeking something lighter, the CNY Chocolate Selection and CNY Variety Pack offer smaller-format assortments that highlight ROYCE’s playful approach to texture and flavour. From crisp, crunchy elements to berry-forward notes, these boxes bring contrast and variety while maintaining the brand’s signature balance and restraint.

Across the collection, the emphasis remains on craftsmanship and experience rather than indulgence alone. Each box is designed to complement the rhythm of the season — whether enjoyed during quiet moments at home or shared across a festive table.
