From tomorrow onwards, the next 15 days are going to be filled with lots of fun, laughter and joy with your loved ones, some of whom you’ve probably not seen in the longest time – even from before MCO. So make the best out of the time you’ve got together by prepping the yummy snacks and bringing out all the positive vibes and roaring spirit, cos there are plenty of apps, games, music and movies that you can explore and enjoy this festive season!
For the music enthusiast
If you’re wondering what international artists have on repeat from their playlists this CNY, Apple Music will fill you in. From Singaporean singer-songwriter, Gentle Bones to Hong Kong rapper, Jackson Wang, Taiwanese singer-songwriter, Lala Hsu, Taiwanese-American actor and singer, Vanness Wu and more, you can access various exclusively-handpicked playlists by the artists to find out what they’ll be listening to this year! Besides playing classic C-Pop favourites at home to elevate the festive cheer, you can also experience the roar of Jay Chou’s live concert album from the front row or immerse yourself in tunes from other well-known artists like E.So, Hebe Tien, Jihu and Waa Wei via the all-new C-Pop in Spatial Audio playlist.
For the movie junkie
One of the best ways to spend QT with your loved ones is by hosting a movie marathon or movie night at your place. This year, Apple TV has rounded up a selection of bundle movie deals that everyone can enjoy during this festive season. From Stephen Chow’s 4-movie collection (CJ7, Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back, Kung Fu Hustle and The Mermaid) to Mulan’s 2-movie collection, festive promotions on new movie releases such as Godzilla vs. Kong and Raya and the Last Dragon, as well as all-time favourites like Ah Boys to Men 4, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Detective Chinatown 3 and more, they’re all available at your fingertips via the streaming platform.
For those who need instant access to multiple recipes
There’s no need to stress about the multiple Lunar New Year dishes that you’ll need to create during the 15-day-long celebration, cos YoRipe’s got you covered. Download the app from the App Store and get the recipe (and confidence!) to whip up anything – from fuss-free meals to festive bakes and treats, as well as celebratory show-stopper dishes like Poon Choy and Yee Sang, depending on what you’re looking for. Be it for your niece or nephew who’s forever hungry or for your parents who are tired of cooking in the kitchen, you can access a wide variety of recipes using existing ingredients anytime!
For all the gamers in the house
If you can’t spend a day without playing games or are looking for some fun challenges to get into the CNY mood, the App Store has a new series of games for each of the Chinese zodiac signs that you can download and enjoy! Opt to transport yourself into the adventurous world of Tsuki the adorable rabbit through Tsuki’s Odyssey, have fun challenging different family members to a game of Bloons TD Battles where you’ll command your crew of monkeys to destroy hordes of pesky balloons, or protect your mountain goat’s serene home by sending the creeps back to where they belong via the retro-inspired and action-packed Ready Set Goat. The choice is yours, but what we’re sure of is that it’ll be a whole load of fun playing these games while indulging in all the tasty CNY snacks you’ve got lined up at home!
