Mid-Autumn Festival Gifts for Kids

Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Friday, September 25, 2026. The date changes each year because the festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional celebration centered around family, togetherness, the full moon and the autumn harvest. Traditions vary across cultures and families, but celebrations often include gathering together, sharing special foods and passing cultural traditions on to children.

Meaningful Mid-Autumn Festival gifts can help children connect with their culture through play and family traditions. Joeydolls’ Mid-Autumn collection includes culturally representative dolls, Mooncake Food Pals, Mid-Autumn Festival stickers and other gifts inspired by Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean traditions.

Through September 30, 2026, receive a FREE Mooncake Food Pal with any individual Signature Doll or a FREE Mid-Autumn Festival Sticker with any individual Mini Doll. No discount code is needed.

These celebrations take place around the same autumn season but have their own cultural traditions. Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival often includes mooncakes, lanterns, moon viewing and family gatherings. Vietnamese Tết Trung Thu is especially known for children’s lanterns, lion dances, mooncakes and family or community celebrations. Korean Chuseok is its own major harvest holiday, when families gather, give thanks and share traditional foods such as songpyeon. Chuseok falls from September 24–26 in 2026.

Mooncakes are one of the best-known foods associated with Chinese and Vietnamese Mid-Autumn celebrations. Their round shape is often connected with the full moon, reunion and family togetherness, making sharing mooncakes a meaningful part of the celebration.

Joeydolls is a family-run children's brand making culturally representative dolls, plush toys, books and accessories that help children feel seen, celebrated and proud of who they are. We believe culture belongs in everyday play, stories and family moments.

We design every product with cultural care, paying close attention to clothing, colours, names, traditions and symbols, so each piece feels true to the culture it celebrates.

Our growing collection currently celebrates Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean, Indian, Japanese, Cambodian, Mexican and Hmong cultures, with more cultures and characters in development.

Children are at the heart of Joeydolls, and our dolls are also loved by parents, grandparents, educators, therapists, gift-givers, collectors and adults reconnecting with or sharing their culture.

Joeydolls was founded by Samantha Ong, a mom of two who was born in Malaysia, raised in Australia and now lives in Canada. She couldn't find dolls that reflected her own children's heritage, so she made them.
