New Year’s Eve is quickly approaching and many of us are staying home for the countdown. Even if you are not going out to count down and bring in the New Year, you can still have plenty of fun at home with your family! Here is a list of fun ideas to bring in the brand new year in style, fun, family and make new memories.
How To Set The New Year’s Eve Mood
New Years Eve Party Favors
What a great way to set the mood than to get some New Year’s Eve party favors! I have always loved the glasses and party hats.
Bubbly Bar
A great way to bring in the new year is with a home bubbly bar! It is not hard to set up and you can have champagne, make cocktails and mocktails. Best part is, no designated driver.
Have you thought of your New Year’s Eve cocktail? Try this Blue Lagoon drink!
Midnight Kisses
Pour some Hershey’s kisses in a cup and have them during the party at home! It is both cute and delicious.
Hanging Balloons
Add some flare to your ceiling by hanging balloons. Easy and inexpensive way to decorate for the big countdown!
Black, Gold and Silver Table Set
The classic color scheme for this day. Recreate it with some of these.
New Year’s Photo Booth Props
Great for making memories. If you are bringing it in with the kids, they will love it just as much.
Need Some Finger Food Ideas? Make an Easy Seven Layer Dip
Make a Charcuterie Board.
These have been all the craze this year. Just something to graze on while you are watching countdowns on tv. Fill them with all your favorite meats, cheeses, fruits, veggies and crackers!
New Year’s Fun As A Family
Make a Delicious Dinner.
Yes, this includes take out or delivery. Whether you are cooking in the kitchen or having your meal delivered to your door, making it special is the most important thing.
Let Your Kids Stay Up For New Year’s Eve
Yes, I said it. Come on, it is one night a year, and they will absolutely love bringing in the moment with mom and dad.
Play a Game of Two Resolutions and a Lie
A twist on the classic game two truths and a lie. Have each person think of two resolutions they want and one that is a lie and have everyone else guess which one is a lie! Lol. fun times.
Play New Year’s Eve Bingo.
You can make your own cards or purchase them online. Here is one example here.
Watch The Countdown on TV
There are always concerts, music and everything else on television. Have fun and sing and dance in the living room.
Make It A Pajama Party
You can have the theme of “putting 2020 to bed” and make the evening a fun pajama party!
Make A Things To Do Every Hour
Create a fun list of things to do every hour with your family. These things could be play an at home scavenger hunt, tell a funny story or whatever you like. The goal is to make something special each hour for the countdown.
Hope These Fun New Year’s Eve Ideas help you, and have a Happy New Year!! 🙂

This is certainly a different year from the others. It is nice to have some good ideas for the New Year.
These are such fun ideas! I’ll be laying low this year!
These are great ideas! We always have a low key New Years Eve, but this year will be even more quiet as several people that we normally celebrate with are not in our small bubble.
These look like some fun ideas. We just stay home and do finger foods to celebrate, especially this year!
Sitting down and talking about your goals for the upcoming year is one of our family traditions. We love spending the 31st together.
These are some amazing ideas to celebrate this New Year. Thanks for Sharing it.
I think the Charcuterie Board is one of the highlights of our celebration. Almost everyone I know had one as well. It was fun creating it. I just plan to have more choices for cheese next time.
