China Media Group (CMG) has just dropped a teaser video for its 2026 Spring Festival Gala, set to stream live worldwide on the evening of February 16, 2026. 🎥✨
The Spring Festival—aka Chinese New Year—is the biggest traditional celebration for Chinese communities. For hundreds of millions, gathering around the TV to watch the Gala is as essential as the reunion dinner. 🍲👪
Launched back in 1983, the Gala holds a Guinness World Record as the most-watched annual TV show on Earth. 🌍📺 Just over a year ago, the Spring Festival was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, cementing its global cultural status.
Expect a vibrant mix of music, dance, and cutting-edge tech—think AR-powered performances and interactive segments that bring tradition into the digital age. 💃🤖 It’s the perfect fusion of heritage and innovation to ring in the Year of the Horse!
Mark your calendars for February 16, grab some tangerines, and get ready to join the party from wherever you are! 🌟🏮
