W'salam w.b.t. 
My personal pov, I believe CNY is a celebration that have nothing to do with religion, so it's ok to celebrate it as a Muslim. 
Based on my observations, other people, especially kids love CNY because of two things; Dragon Dance and Firecrackers! 
So, these are the things they look forward to when it comes to CNY. It's not just another holiday like New Year or Wesak Day
