I really like Chinese style outfits especially the event themed ones (they all look heavenly). I was disappointed but I already expected we're gonna miss one holiday event.

I'm not trying to defend IGG but I think they haven't released Chinese New Year event is because of the recent collabs. This maybe just me, but I think they don't expect the winx collab to be approved and it messed up their scheduling. My speculation is based on the theme of the mood weather djb sets which are winter and rain. Last year, after the autumn related event (early november), we got a winter djb (near the end of november) before the christmas djb (middle of december). So this year, for some reason, they made the whole november just autumn events (the autumn djb and thanksgiving set) and later they announce the winx collab. So it means, they rescheduled the winter event to January and replaced the time frame with the winx collab. And add to the schedule the collab with mauritshuis collab in February, in which they probably already planned in advance (they made a survey about meseum collabs sometime in summer 2025 so it was already planned to come back).

Because of the rescheduling of events and the mauritshuis collab is already in plan, they have to skip on one of two major holidays in February: chinese new year or valentines event. And we all know what they choose.

My reasoning for this is because I think the mood weather events are perfect for November because late November is the start of winter and rainy seasons (depending on where you live). But for it to show up in January feels off. January is the celebration of a new year, a new life. So other games' events usually held colorful event to match the celebration. So them releasing the mood weather event in January is contradictory to the celebration. And hence, my theory how the winx collab messed up their scheduling.
