Festivals of the World Chinese New Year Barbie Doll

 Chinese New Year begins with the new moon on the first day of the year and ends with the full moon fifteen days later. On the fifteenth day, called Lantern Festival, there's a parade of children carrying lanterns after dark. Celebrated with firecrackers, dragon dances and red envelopes of money, this ancient Asian festival finds Barbie doll wearing a red dress featuring traditional Chinese motifs and a mandarin collar.
