🎉 Hey fam, did you catch the new teaser from China Media Group (CMG) for the 2026 Spring Festival Gala? It just dropped, and its set to broadcast live worldwide on the evening of February 16! Whether you're planning a family gathering or streaming with friends in South or Southeast Asia, this is the Lunar New Year event to watch.
Spring Festival, aka Chinese New Year, is the biggest traditional holiday for hundreds of millions of people. Since its first show in 1983, the gala has become an unmissable TV tradition. Thanks to Guinness World Records, it's officially the most-watched annual TV program on the planet 🌍📺.
Just over a year ago, UNESCO recognized the Spring Festival on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity—proof of its global cultural impact. For 2026, we're celebrating the Year of the Horse 🐎, blending timeless customs with next-gen tech, from drone light shows to virtual reality segments.
