Today, we are sharing this oh-so-adorable Free Layered Year Of The Snake Mickey SVG to celebrate Chinese New Year. This is a huge event worldwide and starts on Wednesday, the 29th January 2025.
celebrateThe Chinese calendar is a complex calendar that rotates in a 60-year cycle. This is based on 12 earthly branches. Each represents an animal year and the five heavenly stems: earth, wood, fire, water and metal. This year, we celebrate the Year of the Snake, the 6th animal in the Chinese Zodiac Calendar.
Please note this is a personal use file only, it’s great for making your own Chinese New Year cards and decorations.
