You're a couple hours late for it, but I just finished watching the CCTV Chinese New Year livestream broadcast for the first time and it was really cool. Apparently the whole country tunes in to watch this show and it's like a variety show with a bunch of music and dancing and other performances. Maybe you can find a recording of it.
I'm Canadian, but I recently started dating a Chinese girl. We watched it and texted eachother as it was on. It was super interesting, even though I barely understood any of it. Music and dancing are pretty universal though, you can definitely get the vibe of a lot of it just by watching. Plus there was one performance that I did understand because it was in French (plus it was a song from a musical I've seen before). Highly recommend checking it out, it was an interesting window into the culture.
