What can you do on New Year’s Eve?

This year, the holidays are more important than ever. The past few months have been challenging for many of us, and New Year’s Eve is the perfect day to start over. Nobody will miss 2020 when it’s over – and hopefully the new year brings better days. If you’re more than ready to responsibly usher in the new year, here’s how to safely celebrate the start of 2021.

The New Year is just around the corner

Start your party late or end your party early

Unless you are lucky enough to live somewhere warm all year round, having a safe outdoor New Year celebration could be tricky. You could have an early dinner and outdoor party, then send all of the guests home to usher in the new year separately. Or you can have guests arrive an hour or two before midnight to count down together, albeit briefly, to 2021. Or, consider starting the party virtually and then getting everyone together outside for a short time later that night.

It’s never too early or too late for champagne

For the benefit!

Light up your party room

If you’re used to ringing in the New Year at a glamorous party, add a little extra sparkle to your celebration room. High-tech lights can be programmed to change colors in sync with the music to create a club-like atmosphere. Hand out glowing necklaces, festively decorated glasses, glittering tiaras and hats to spice up your party.

Celebrate outdoors

Leave the past behind

There is probably a lot that you would like to say goodbye to. So take the time to get rid of the negative energy in your home. In China, before the New Year, people clean their homes to sweep away the bad luck and be ready to greet the good. When you sit in front of the fireplace, you can write down anything you want to let go of and just throw it into the fire.

Serve a lot of lucky foods

Long noodles symbolize a long and prosperous life in China and Japan, and black-eyed peas (steamed with pork knuckles and cabbage) bring good luck in the southern states. Foods that look like coins or money, or have a golden hue – like tangerines, dumplings, cabbage, cornbread, lentils, and greens – are said to bring you prosperity in the New Year. We Germans traditionally eat cute marzipan pigs for a promising start to the new year. And at midnight you can follow the Spanish tradition – put 12 grapes in your mouth, one for each stroke of the clock, for a fresh start to the new year.

Eating can bring you happiness

Get a little wild

When you’re partying outdoors, you don’t have to worry as much about the clutter. So unpack confetti and streamers and light sparklers to ring in the New Year even more festively. If you like the idea of ​​making some noise to drive the misfortune off, set off some fireworks and just let it go.

Let it rip!

Keep your New Years kiss safe

The New Year’s kiss is a time-honored tradition, but play it safe and only kiss the people in your own household.

We wish you a Happy New Year with all our hearts! “

Happy new year 2021!
