How to spend New Year's Eve so that you have something to remember?

New Year is one of the favorite holidays for both children and adults. After all, this is the only night of the year when any miracles are possible. But sometimes classic feasts with Olivier and Blue Light get boring - you want something truly magical. For this occasion, we have compiled a selection of 9 interesting ideas for those who want to celebrate the New Year in an unconventional and fun way.

New Year's costume party

Although not the most unusual, but nevertheless an interesting way to celebrate.

The theme of New Year's Eve can be anything:

• Hawaiian. Instead of garlands, you can hang flowers around the house. If you have a homemade palm tree in a pot, it will be an excellent substitute for a Christmas tree. Pour New Year's champagne into bright glasses, decorated with umbrellas. Let the costumes be traditional for such an evening: bras made of coconuts, skirts made of multi-colored ribbons, floral necklaces or wreaths (all this can be made from improvised means).
• Hipsters. Retro still excites the hearts of many, so bright suits, high hairstyles and catchy makeup will make the New Year unforgettable.



• Back to the childhood. Who hasn’t dreamed of becoming a child again, dressing up as snowflakes and bunnies, remembering the taste of a carefree life and believing in Santa Claus again? New Year's Eve is the time to fulfill such a wish.
• Masquerade ball - such fun was especially popular in past centuries, when everyone dressed in luxurious costumes and hid their faces under masks. Why not do this again now? And at exactly twelve, after the onset of the New Year, everyone will take off their masks together.

Have a hot New Year

Go with a group or the whole family for the New Year somewhere to the south, where instead of snow there is snow-white sand, instead of fir trees there are palm trees, and instead of fur coats there are swimsuits. The hotel will definitely have an interesting New Year's program for adults and children, a buffet, fireworks and dancing until the morning. However, for those who are accustomed to frosts on New Year's Day, the absence of snow will be unusual, and children will not be able to build a snowman or play in the snow. Although with an interesting program there will be no time to be sad about the cold weather.

New Year with Santa Claus

The million-dollar option is to all celebrate New Year's Eve together in Veliky Ustyug or, if funds allow, in Lapland. Children will especially enjoy this adventure, but adults are unlikely to quickly forget it. Beautiful photographs, a lot of gifts, a ride in a reindeer sleigh and an incredible atmosphere of New Year's fun and magic - all this will be remembered for many years. In addition to the fabulous houses, there is a ski resort, so extreme sports enthusiasts can enjoy the steep slopes.

Foreign New Year

If you really want to go abroad for a festive night, but money or other reasons don’t allow it, why not bring the traditions of another country to your home for the New Year? Dress in national costumes, decorate the apartment in a foreign style and prepare appropriate dishes.

Or, if not everyone in the company wants to celebrate according to the customs of one state, you can arrange the New Year in the style of “friendship of peoples”, when each of the guests dresses in accordance with the chosen country, and assorted dishes are served on the table.

New Year games for a large company

Who said that games are only for children? There are many entertainments that adults will also be happy to take part in, especially on New Year’s Day:

• "Crocodile" or "Associations", - this game won’t force you to sit still for a long time, and will amuse everyone;
• twister - an entertainment familiar from childhood, in which you twist into incredible poses. After such a game, New Year's overeating is not scary;
• Board games - and this is not necessarily Monopoly. The Internet and stores are full of games for adults - for ingenuity, “with a little spice,” or just for fun;
• "Truth or Dare" – a game for daredevils, because having chosen “the truth”, you should expect absolutely any question;
• hide and seek - and again returning to childhood on New Year's Eve. It is especially fun to play at the dacha in a big house.

New Year's karaoke

Karaoke has become very popular in recent years, so organizing a night of singing and dancing on New Year's Day is an idea in the spirit of the times. And even those who don’t like to sing can hardly resist picking up a familiar melody.

If simple karaoke is too banal, you can arrange a home New Year's concert.To do this, each singer should be dressed up in the appropriate image of a singer or singer, and let him pretend to be an artist, dancing to the beat. If you wish, you can assign a backup dancer to the “star” or organize a performance based on “Crocodile” - so that guests can guess who came on stage with them.

New Year on the street

Not everyone can stay at home all New Year's Eve. Therefore, there are several ways to spend a holiday outside:

• On the main square. There will definitely be a New Year's concert there. In the center of the events, a large Christmas tree will play with all its colors. You can count on songs, dances, entertainment and fireworks. It is at such a moment that all the strangers gathered in the square will become one friendly family.
• On the rink. Skating is a great way to spend New Year's Eve. The skating rink will be decorated with hundreds of lanterns, and New Year's music will sound from everywhere. In the center, as a rule, there is a Christmas tree - the atmosphere is fabulous.
• In the forest. An unusual way to celebrate, but it will definitely be remembered for a long time. It’s worth finding a suitable clearing where to put a table, and the TV will replace the telephone to hear the New Year’s chimes. The main thing is not to climb into the thicket, so as not to get lost, and dress warmly, so as not to catch a cold.

New Year with smoke

“Every year on December 31st we go to the bathhouse.” Everyone knows this phrase. But what if you really celebrate the holiday in a bathhouse or sauna?

This method has a lot of advantages:

• You will have to cook less for the table, because even in the dressing room mayonnaise salads will not last long;
• girls will not have to spend hours on hair styling, makeup, choosing a New Year's dress and shoes - a swimsuit, towel and hat will be enough in the bathhouse;
• cleaning will not take much time - instead of dishes, you can use disposable dishes and cups, and lay a disposable tablecloth on the table;
• no hangover - sitting in a warm bath, especially taking a steam bath, will be very useful, and in the morning you can forget about the unpleasant state.

New Year on the road

Going on a trip on New Year's Eve is actually a lot of fun. All fellow travelers get together, drink champagne, tell funny stories from life, sing and, if possible, dance. All the strangers magically unite and some actually become close friends. Therefore, this unusual way of celebrating the New Year is suitable not only for a noisy company, but also for those who decide to celebrate the holiday alone. For such a trip, it is better to choose a train or plane.

In addition to a great mood, a New Year's trip has significant advantages:

• the ticket will be indecently cheap due to low demand;
• The New Year will begin in a new place, and everything old will be left behind;
• This method will definitely surprise everyone you know and leave a lot of pleasant memories.

So, there are a lot of New Year’s scenarios that don’t revolve around Olivier and TV. If the soul asks for something special, it’s time to decisively sweep away all banalities.
