As soon as the ‘happy new year’ signs are taken off, they’re replaced with ‘xin nian kuai le’. That is Chinese for ‘happy new year’, by the way, and is the slogan for Chinese new year.
That also means that the songs in the stores have in recent weeks switched from first a loop of five or six christmas songs to now a loop of five or six chinese new year songs.
The most well-known of these is ‘gongxi gongxi’. There are thousands of versions of the song, but usually it’ll be performed by a kids choir. It’s actually a pretty good song with a catchy refrain. Better than ‘jingle bells’ at least.
