SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — P.F. Chang’s is celebrating the Year of the Horse with a festive culinary lineup. On Wednesday, January 28, 2026, the Asian culinary brand launched its annual Lunar New Year event, featuring a limited-time menu, seasonal cocktails, and the return of its popular “Red Envelope” tradition.
The 2026 celebration is particularly significant for the chain. The horse, a symbol of strength and movement, has long been the icon of the P.F. Chang’s brand. Consequently, this year’s festivities focus on “bold, contemporary flavors designed to bring people together”.
The Menu Details
From January 28 through February 24, 2026, guests can enjoy dishes that blend tradition with modern flair.

Festive Sips
The beverage team has crafted a special cocktail lineup to toast the new year.

- Other Options: The menu also lists the premium Lunar Elixir ($12.99) and the approachable Frosted Cranberry Cosmo ($8.99).
The Red Envelope Tradition
P.F. Chang’s is also bringing back its “Red Envelope” giveaway. Every guest who dines in during the celebration period will receive a randomized red envelope.
