CMG’s 2025 Spring Festival Gala Promises Unforgettable Spectacle with New Innovations
China Media Group (CMG) is gearing up to deliver an unforgettable experience with its 2025 Spring Festival Gala, set to air globally on January 28, the eve of the Chinese New Year. The second rehearsal, held on Friday, showcased exciting improvements and gave a glimpse of what’s to come.
This year’s gala is pushing boundaries with original songs, dynamic dances, and innovative performances. The transitions between acts are smoother than ever, indicating a well-coordinated and polished production that’s sure to captivate audiences worldwide.
One of the standout features is the striking stage design inspired by a “ruyi,” a traditional Chinese ornamental object symbolizing good fortune. The ruyi-shaped stage seamlessly connects with the seating area, enhancing the immersive experience for those in attendance and the millions watching from home.
CMG is also incorporating cutting-edge technology to elevate the show. Expect virtual reality elements, glasses-free 3D effects, and ultra-high-definition projections that promise to dazzle and immerse viewers in a spectacular visual feast.
In a move to bring the gala closer to the people, CMG has introduced the “Gala Experience Officer” program. This initiative invites everyday heroes—individuals who strive for a better life—to go behind the scenes. One such hero is Xiao Hua, a dedicated barber from Huaihua City in Hunan Province. Her passion and commitment have taken her from a local salon to becoming a specially invited hairstylist for the gala.
Inclusivity is at the heart of this year’s gala. For the first time, the event will offer barrier-free broadcasts tailored for over 45 million visually and hearing-impaired viewers. These dedicated broadcasts will provide real-time program interpretation and detailed background narration, ensuring everyone can fully enjoy the cultural significance and entertainment of this national celebration.
As the countdown to the Chinese New Year begins, CMG’s 2025 Spring Festival Gala is set to unite people across the globe in a celebration of tradition, innovation, and inclusivity. Mark your calendars for January 28—it’s a night you won’t want to miss.
