We've put together all our coverage from this year for you to enjoy during the festive season. Kung hei fat choi indeed!1. Mannings - Outdoor interactive 3D TVLocated at Foo Ming Street Tram Station, Causeway Bay, the interactive 3D TV provides on-site 3D viewing experiences without the need of 3D glasses.

Titled #ThisIsMyCNY, the five-part series – produced by RFI Asia and in consultation with Facebook’s Creative Shop – aims to explore the perspective of millennials at CNY. The series follows the character of Hong Kong millennial Janis, as she navigates the holiday period, interacting with friends and family. It explores themes of familial connection, modern attitudes, and maintaining tradition, while also reinforcing a message about the importance of togetherness. 3. Zurich taps into Whatsapp stickers for CNYZurich Insurance has released a set of branded WhatsApp stickers for Chinese New Year. The stickers can be posted during conversations using the messaging application. This follows closely on from WhatsApp’s adoption of the stickers feature in October 2018. 4. Pacific Place's CNY celebration and installationsPacific Place is celebrating Chinese New Year by showcasing more than 60 kites around the mall, created by Hong Kong artist Queenie Rosita Law. Based around the theme “Where Fortune Takes Flight” the kites are representative of traditional Chinese New Year imagery, including octagons for good fortune, butterflies for positivity, and circular candy boxes for completeness and unity. 5. Harbour City's installations and interactive gamesHarbour City is now celebrating the Chinese New Year, with the unveiling of a seven-metre tall “Wishing Treasure Bowl” at the Ocean Terminal Forecourt. Constructed out of multiple frames, the installation has been decorated with colourful ropes to create geometric shapes of festive iconography, from cherry blossoms to gold coins.To further engage visitors, Harbour City has introduced an interactive wishing experience where visitors are eligible to win a lucky pouch after taking part in a mini-game and donating HK$20 near the“Wishing Treasure Bowl” installation. 6. 7-Eleven and Sanrio partnership rolls out more exclusive products for CNYThe campaign aims to present customers with potential ideas for gifts as 7-Eleven continues to leverage its stamp redemption programme and its collaborated collections to drive sales and encourage repeat customers. Following its redemption scheme for ceramic bowls, 7-Eleven has now rolled out a limited edition flower-shaped ceramic plate series, as well as Sanrio glass flasks featuring 3D-characters. 7. Hong Kong Tourism Board's Chinese New Year PlanThe Cathay Pacific International Chinese New Year Night Parade takes place on 5 February – the first day of the Chinese New Year – in Tsim Sha Tsui. This year’s event will continue following the theme used since 2017, “Best Fortune. World Party”. The parade will showcase nine floats, 13 Chinese and international performing troupes, and 12 local performing troupes. The HKTB said the event will feature nearly 30,000 performers hailing from 30 different regions around the world. 8. Deliveroo' edible mahjongDeliveroo has been offering customers a set of edible mahjong tiles since 25 January.The Deliveroo tiles are cookies, meaning that players can literally crunch their ways through a delicious “fat choy” to gain some luck and wealth on the table. Deliveroo will offer the limited edition tiles as a complete set, with the tiles symbols making up the entirety of the “thirteen terminals” combination. This is one of the most difficult and profitable combos to assemble in mahjong games as players largely depend on luck to get every tile. 9. DBS' red packet redemptionDBS Hong Kong has launched a new campaign for the festival with a red packet redemption via a Facebook Messenger chatbot game.
