Mid-Autumn Festival falls on 25 September 2026, and this year’s mooncake collections make one thing clear: the traditional lotus-paste-and-yolk formula is no longer the only game in town.
There are fashion-house mooncakes, French pâtisserie interpretations, ice cream versions, durian-filled snowskins and even a giant mooncake divided into four completely different flavours. Packaging has become almost as competitive as the pastries themselves, with everything from wooden lanterns to a playable Weiqi board appearing this season.
If you are trying to decide what is genuinely interesting rather than simply what comes in the grandest box, these are 10 of the 2026 Mid-Autumn releases that caught our attention.
6. Cat & the Fiddle’s Mao Shan Wang Durian Snowskin Mooncake, S$75.90/box of six
Cat & the Fiddle’s Mao Shan Wang Durian Snowskin Mooncake Set takes a straightforward approach: six snowskin mooncakes, all filled with premium Mao Shan Wang durian.
Rather than mixing durian with a lineup of unrelated flavours, the brand has committed fully to its star ingredient. The proposition is simple: if you love Mao Shan Wang, here it is in mooncake form.
That makes this one of the easiest boxes to recommend — or rule out. It probably won’t win over anyone who isn’t a fan of durian, but for a family of committed durian lovers, it could be far more practical than an assorted box where everyone ends up competing for the single durian mooncake.
It’s also halal-certified, making it a more inclusive option for group gifting and festive gatherings.
