10 Fun Ideas to Celebrate New Year at Home

All the best memories of the last year in a glimpse, how amazing will that be! Here’s how you can make one. Take a board, or just use any wall of your room. Now, take some pictures of last year and attach them to the board or wall using glue or a pin. You can also take things that represent a memorable moment. For example, movie tickets from a special movie date or a birthday card. You can also write some messages on colourful paper and add that to your memory board. The best part is, you can use this as a DIY room decoration for the rest of the year.

New year eve definitely calls for a party, where you can eat delicious food, dance to your favourite song and make fun memories. We say, do the same this year as well! Plan a happening house party. Decorate your house, make a few snacks, invite your friends and party all night. Make sure to keep some party poppers that you can pop when the clock hits 12! Here’s another thought! Instead of inviting guests, just do a pyjama party with your family. You will have no problem dancing in your pyjamas, that’s for sure!

Among all the new year eve home celebration ideas, this one is definitely going to be a crowd favourite. And to the moms in the house, no, it doesn’t have to be video games! You can play Pictionary, mad libs or musical chairs. There are many board games that you can play as well. Just make sure that you don’t stick to one game. Make a list of multiple fun games and keep playing one after another. One more thing, keep prizes for the winners!

Bringing in the new year with your favourite film or TV series? A big yes! Make a huge bucket of popcorn, dim the lights, sit in front of the screen and get lost in the world of your favourite characters. Now, there are many new year special movies. You can watch those, but there are no rules for binge-watching on new year eve. You can do a marathon of the Harry Potter series. Or rewatch FRIENDS (for the hundredth time)! The choice is yours!

New year and resolutions go hand in hand! We mean, not making any new year resolution just doesn’t seem right, whether it’s doing exercises regularly or reducing the chocolate intake! So, on this new year's eve, why not play the resolution game. But the game is just not about making a new resolution. Here’s how you can play. Sit down with your family or friends. Now let everyone say what their last year’s resolution was and if they have kept it. The ones who have kept their resolution get chocolate and the ones who haven’t, now have to do what the rest of the people ask them to do!

How would you like to plan your new year eve planning your next vacation? If you are nodding your head in excitement, let’s get started. Sit down with your family or friends with some snacks, finalise all the details. First thing first, the new year destination! Next decide, when you are leaving and how many days you are staying. Now think, how you want to go. You can board a flight, take a train or opt for a road trip. Once all plans are sorted, go ahead, book the flights and hotels!

Goody bags? This sounds already fun! Here’s what to do. Make 12 goody bags. Fill them with gifts and chocolates. Now, start at noon and open one goody bag each hour. Make sure each bag has a thing or two more than the previous bag! If you want to make things more exciting, hide all the bags and ask your family member to search for them! Whoever finds the bag, gets all the goodies inside it! This way, you can have fun throughout the day.

Whether you are a good singer or not, everyone gets to sing at karaoke. And this can be a fun way to celebrate the new year. Before you ask, you don’t necessarily need a big machine. Just get a small microphone and a record player will suffice. Or better, just play the songs’ background scores on your computer and start singing. Obviously, ask your family or friends to join!

Thanks to our phone’s amazing cameras, any day or occasion can turn into a photo session, why not new year eve! We are sure, no pointers are needed for this. But still, here are some suggestions. Ask everyone to get dressed. And use a nicely decorated wall in your house as a background. You can also use some props, like photo booth picture frames, funny hats and sunglasses, marquee letters and different photo booth props. You can easily buy them online.

A friendly family bake-off can be quite fun! Ask your family or friends to meet you in the kitchen, because the party is happening in the kitchen this time! Once they come, hand them the ingredients and get the baking started. Now, you can either ask everyone to make the same thing or they can make whatever they like. Take our suggestion and go for the latter. That way, you will get to eat a variety of things! In the middle of the baking, if anyone starts a flour fight, it’s okay! After all, it’s all fun! Once the baking is done, taste all the dishes and see who is the best baker. Don’t forget the prize for the winner. And the one who loses the game must clean all the dishes!

So, these were our ideas for the new year celebration at home. Select one of these or more! You can definitely have a photo session during a party or plan a trip while you are baking! The key thing is to do whatever seems fun. And on that note, here’s wishing you a Happy New year!
