Chinese New Year is a time for fresh starts, joyful moments, and sharing good food with the people you love. And in 2026, it arrives on 17 February — right in the heart of winter, when London could all use a little extra warmth and sweetness.
At Bombolone, we believe celebrations should be delicious, comforting, and full of joy. That’s why Chinese New Year doughnuts feel like the perfect way to welcome the New Year — soft, golden, generously filled, and made to be shared.
Because every new beginning deserves something sweet.
What Is Chinese New Year — and Why Food Matters So Much
Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year, is one of the most important celebrations in the world. It marks the beginning of a new lunar calendar year and is traditionally centred around family, togetherness, and food.
Meals are symbolic. Dishes are chosen carefully. Everything served is meant to bring:
- Good fortune
- Happiness
- Prosperity
- Togetherness
Food isn’t just food — it’s a wish for the year ahead.
And while traditions vary across cultures and families, one thing stays the same: sweet treats are always welcome.
Why Chinese New Year Doughnuts Make Perfect Sense
Doughnuts might not be traditional Chinese New Year food — but the feeling behind them fits perfectly.
Chinese New Year doughnuts represent:
- Round shapes, symbolising wholeness and unity
- Golden colour, associated with wealth and luck
- Sweet fillings, a wish for happiness in the year ahead
At Bombolone, our doughnuts are made to be shared, gifted, and enjoyed together — which makes them a beautiful addition to any Chinese New Year celebration.
Whether you’re celebrating at home, bringing treats to work, or meeting friends in the city, Chinese New Year donuts are an easy, joyful way to mark the occasion.

Bombolone was created to bring joy through food — inspired by Italian summers, European bakery traditions, and the simple happiness of sharing something freshly made.
Chinese New Year fits naturally into that philosophy.
For us, it’s about slowing down, gathering together, sharing something warm, and welcoming the year ahead with optimism and joy — all through doughnuts that feel special, generous, and made with care.
