Chinese New Year 2027 GIF Calendar: February 5 to February 20
2027 is the Year of the Fire Goat. Here is when each GIF goes out, and what to write on it.
February 5: New Year's Eve
The reunion dinner night. Post the family GIF while the dumplings are still on the table, signed from all of you at once.
February 6: the Year of the Goat begins
A Saturday. Goat, sheep and ram are one sign (羊 covers all three), so ask for whichever animal your family draws.
What to write on it
Gong Xi Fa Cai (恭喜发财) wishes them a prosperous year, Xin Nian Kuai Le (新年快乐) is Happy New Year, and Gong Hei Fat Choy is the Cantonese greeting. Type them in pinyin or in characters.
February 20: the Lantern Festival
Fifteen days in, the lanterns come out and the season closes. A lantern-street GIF is the last greeting of the year, and the one people forget to send.
