The video is a televised cooking and variety segment produced by Beijing TV in partnership with the Beijing Women’s Federation and the International Family Exchange Center. The program celebrates the Chinese New Year (the "Year‑of‑the‑Dog" celebration) with an "International Family New Year’s Eve Dinner" that brings together a multicultural family – Emily, a Canadian entrepreneur who has lived in China for 11 years, and Richard Robinson, an American expat who has lived in Beijing for 17 years – along with their four children. The hosts (Speaker A and B) guide the audience through a series of dishes that blend Chinese and Western culinary traditions: traditional dumplings, a chicken‑parmesan style sandwich, sweet‑potato caramel, maple‑syrup‑based desserts, and a special “baby‑three‑bright‑treat” that uses two kinds of cheese and caramelised red‑potato. Throughout the segment the participants discuss the cultural meanings of the dishes, share personal stories about how they met, their marriage in 2014, their entrepreneurial ventures, and how they raise their children in a cross‑cultural environment. Safety tips for cooking with children, the symbolism of New Year customs (red envelopes, fireworks, "break‑the‑five"), and the use of Canadian ingredients (maple syrup, honey, cheese) in Chinese recipes are highlighted. The tone is warm, lively, and celebratory, emphasizing family love, cultural exchange, and the joy of cooking together.
