Celebrating Lunar New Year with Panda Express

Happy Lunar New Year! 2025: The Year of the Snake

Lunar New Year is a festive time to gather with family, friends and communities to welcome new beginnings. In true tradition, it is a celebration filled with vibrant festivals, joy, and, of course, the sharing of lucky foods to spread fortune and happiness for the year ahead.

Since 2007, Panda Express has been changing kids’ health to change the future at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals by raising millions of dollars throughout the year. Associates ask guests to round up at the register, with every dollar donated creating a ripple effect in the community.

In 2024, Panda Express associates and guests raised over $185,000 for Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. Panda Express’s commitment allows our hospital to provide the most impactful care to kids when it is needed most.

To help celebrate the Lunar New Year, local Panda Express associates hosted a festive celebration for patients and families at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer. Patients were invited to make arts and crafts, enjoy delicious food from Panda Express, and take photos with Panda Express mascot, Pei Pei! Thank you, Panda Express, and Happy Lunar New Year! Let’s welcome the Year of the Snake with hope, health and happiness for all!
