From January 30 to February 2, the 2022 "Happy Chinese New Year" was broadcast live on TV, Internet and social media platforms in five countries including Finland, Estonia, Greece, Canada, and Belgium. The 2022 "Happy Chinese New Year" presented performances with Chinese characteristics, such as martial arts, dance, Peking Opera, and music. It integrated various elements to show Beijing's scenery, ice sculptures for the Year of the Tiger, and Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The event vividly demonstrated the charm of Beijing, as a national cultural center, a center for international exchanges, a world-famous cultural city, and a popular world tourist destination.

The "Happy Chinese New Year" event has been held in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, for 16 consecutive years, Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, for 13 consecutive years, and Athens, the capital of Greece, for 6 consecutive years. It has become a localized and market-oriented brand event. This year, the event is presented in Ottawa, Canada, and Brussels, Belgium and other cities online for the first time, to further expand its international influence.
