If you had a backup (e.g., Time Machine) you can use that to restore your new Mac.
If you had data synced with iCloud, you can turn on the same sync settings in Apple menu > System Settings > [username] > iCloud and that data will automatically sync with it. (e.g., iCloud Photos, iCloud Drive including the Desktop & Documents option).
And more information on syncing in:
