Chinese New Year always comes with a familiar checklist. Deep cleaning the house. Hosting relatives. Stocking up snacks. And for many Malaysians, it is also the season for one simple upgrade logic. If you are already planning to refresh something, might as well do it before CNY.
Whether it is a new phone to start the year fresh, smarter home gadgets to make hosting easier, or practical gifts that parents will actually use, Xiaomi currently has a wide range of options that make sense for the festive season.
Here are some Xiaomi picks that fit naturally into CNY preparations without feeling like impulse buys.
A new phone before CNY visits just hits different
Let’s be honest. Chinese New Year is when your phone truly works overtime. From non stop family photos and group selfies to long WhatsApp messages and endless scrolling while waiting for relatives to finish chatting, your phone barely gets a break.
This is where the REDMI Note 15 Series steps in as a very practical CNY upgrade.
Designed as a strong everyday phone with serious value, the REDMI Note 15 Series is ideal for anyone who wants a reliable upgrade without paying flagship level prices.
More importantly, Xiaomi has bundled it with protection and perks that actually matter in daily use.
For those eyeing the top-tier option, the REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G is honestly a festive steal right now. The 12GB + 512GB variant is going for RM1,699 (down from RM1,899), and the best part? You’re also getting a FREE Mi Vacuum Cleaner Mini worth RM179 thrown in.
So it’s not just a phone upgrade, it’s basically a bonus gadget upgrade too. Like RM200 off plus a free vacuum? That’s a pretty sweet add-on this season.
This includes a 24 month quality assurance, one free battery replacement if battery health drops below 80% within 48 months, and one time repair claim for liquid damage, screen damage, or back cover damage within the first 24 months.
On top of that, users also get three months of Spotify Premium, two months of YouTube Premium, and three months of 100GB Google One cloud storage.
If you want similar performance at a slightly lower price point, the REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G is also part of the promotion.
You also can enjoy a free storage upgrade from 256GB to 512GB worth RM200. The 8GB + 512GB variant is now available at RM1,399, reduced from RM1,599.
Altogether, these perks make the REDMI Note 15 Pro range especially appealing for young adults, working professionals, or parents who want something fast, modern, and fuss free, without worrying too much about accidents or battery wear over time.
If you are looking to go even further, Xiaomi’s premium smartphones like the Xiaomi 15 Series and Xiaomi 15T Series are also available for those who want a more high end experience.
Expect sharper displays, powerful performance, and cameras that make reunion photos look great straight out of the phone.
Home upgrades that make hosting way easier
CNY is also when your home becomes a gathering spot. More people means more mess and more food to prepare.
This is why Xiaomi’s smart home appliances are surprisingly relevant this season.
For spring cleaning, robot vacuums and wet dry vacuum cleaners can save hours of work, especially if you are dealing with crumbs, dust, and the aftermath of multiple open house visits. Instead of spending the first few days of the new year cleaning nonstop, you can let a smart vacuum handle it quietly in the background.
For the kitchen, appliances like air fryers, hot pot cookers, rice cookers, and even espresso machines are practical upgrades. These are not novelty gadgets. They are things that actually get used during festive gatherings, whether it is reheating snacks, preparing quick meals, or making drinks for guests.

TVs that bring everyone together
If your family gatherings usually end with movies, karaoke, or watching festive programmes together, a bigger and better TV is always appreciated.
Xiaomi’s TV range includes large screen options that are perfect for shared viewing. It is the kind of upgrade that benefits everyone in the house, not just one person.

Easy gift ideas that do not feel last minute
Not all CNY gifts need to be hampers or red packets.
Wearables like wireless earbuds and smart watches are practical and widely appreciated. Small lifestyle gadgets such as garment steamers, smart kettles, or even personal care items also make thoughtful gifts for parents and relatives.
They are useful, easy to wrap, and do not end up forgotten in a drawer.
A soft nudge if you were already planning to upgrade
The key thing to note is that Xiaomi currently has ongoing promotions for smartphones until late February, while many of its AIoT and home products are also available at attractive prices.
This is not about buying things you do not need.
It is about timing. If you were already planning to upgrade your phone, refresh your home, or get a practical gift before Chinese New Year, this might be the moment where everything lines up.
New year. New routines. New upgrades that actually make daily life easier.
Sometimes that is the best way to start CNY on the right note.For more information, visit Xiaomi’s website or check them out on Facebook and Instagram.
