Get ready to celebrate New Year’s Eve in style!

2020 is (finally!) coming to an end, and here’s hoping 2021 will be the fresh start you’re looking forward to. How we celebrate the coming of the new year will look different than it has in past years, but we still have a lot to celebrate. If you’re looking for a few ideas on how to spend the holiday, look no further!

Spend Some Time Reminiscing

No matter how you’ve spent your year, it’s been a bit of a crazy one! Spend some time looking back at everything that has happened this year. Many families have gotten closer, some people have found exciting new hobbies, and others have learned so much more about themselves. All of these things are worth celebrating! Have everyone in your family think of their favorite memories to share, and write them down. If you’re feeling crafty, you may decide to create a scrapbook with pictures from a year we will remember forever.

Host a Trivia Night

Trivia is a great way to bring groups together with a common goal! It can be a fun way to mix up game night while keeping the energy high. Host trivia night for just the members of your household or over Zoom. There are a few online services that offer trivia, and you can also try your hand at writing some questions yourself!

Try Some Early Spring Cleaning

It may not be time for spring cleaning quite yet, but the new year is a great time to embrace a fresh start. Do a deep clean of your home, donate clothing and belongings you no longer use, and take pride in waking up to a clean house on New Year’s Day.

Enjoy All the Good-Luck Foods

Many cultures believe that how you end one year and how you begin the next will set the whole year’s tone. Because of this, many people enjoy eating foods that are said to bring good luck on New Year’s Eve. In America, pork is supposed to be a lucky food, and greens are supposed to bring prosperity. In Eastern European countries, cabbage symbolizes a long life. Many Asian cultures celebrate with noodles, as they signify longevity. In Spain, people will eat one grape with each strike of the clock at midnight for good luck and prosperity. Find a way to incorporate some of these foods into your dinner for New Year’s Eve.

Attend Virtual Events

Virtual events have become the norm in 2020. We’ve gotten used to celebrating, learning, and connecting online. This New Year’s Eve will have tons of fun and new virtual events! Since people won’t be traveling as freely and big, group events have been canceled, many cities, countries, and organizations are hosting virtual events to ring in the new year. You can watch fireworks, concerts, and other celebrations from all over the world from the comfort of your living room.

Go to Bed Early

Going to bed early might seem silly because New Year’s Eve is usually the night to stay up late, have fun, and celebrate what’s to come. However, it’s perfectly normal to not feel like celebrating after such an unprecedented year. Maybe all you feel up for is a cozy night in, without staying up until midnight, and that’s ok! If you decide to go to bed early, the chances of waking up well-rested on New Year’s Day are high. Starting the new year feeling refreshed will hopefully help you start 2021 on the right foot!

Get Outside

If you’re looking to gather with other households to celebrate New Year’s Eve, consider getting together outside, around a fire pit! Even if you aren’t getting together with other people, try going outside to do some stargazing. It can be a fun way to spend the evening, and it probably isn’t something you do every day!

Write a Letter

Try writing a letter to your future self. Write about what happened this year and what you hope happens next year. When you reach New Year’s Eve next year, read it, and see how it all went! Start a tradition of writing letters every year and save them to look back on in the future. They will serve as an outstanding record of how much you’ve grown and how the world has changed.

Hold a Fancy Dinner Party

New Year’s Eve is always an exciting time to get dressed up, enjoy a delicious meal, and spend time with loved ones. Your group may be smaller this year, but there’s no reason you can’t still break out the party clothes, get dressed up, decorate, and indulge in your favorite food and drink!
