Kids and teens always love things like this, and it’s a great way to document the evening. If you still want the party vibes, just sans people, then throw a solo celebration. Decorate your apartment with all the glitz and glam of a traditional NYE celebration and dance the night away. Getting in some movement through dancing or having a little lighthearted fun may be just the thing you need to bring positivity and good energy into the new year. Before your solo party, create a fun playlist, prepare some of your favorite dishes, and wear the dress you’ve been dying to wear. It’s not just a NYE party, it’s a celebration of you, for you, and by you.

Cook New Year’s Eve Dinner Together
During the virtual affair, you can host different virtual quizzes , a dance-off or simply kickback and catch up with your loved ones over a bottle of fizz as you count down to 2022. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s fun and as memorable as possible to mark the end of this nutty year. For children and those who don’t drink, make some tasty mocktails. Get started with the physical aspect of your self-care by pampering yourself. Also, turn on the fireplace, dim the lights, or light candles, put on some music and welcome the year in style. Everything from Monopoly to Twister to Medium should be on the table here.
In 2022, I’m focused on consistent self-care, and there’s no better way to set that intention in motion than with a dedicated spa night. Ask everyone to bring their favorite nail polish colors and gather all your supplies for manicures, pedicures, and more. This is a great option if you still want to get dressed up but don’t want to deal with the hassle of going out (too cold, too expensive, too… not my house). And just because it’s elegant, doesn’t mean that the preparation has to be hard. DIY a few arrangements (Trader Joe’s is my go-to for florals on the fly), scatter some tea lights throughout your space and set your dream tablescape.
Scrapbook The Past Year’s Memories
Set out a buffet of all the best treats and ask guests to contribute their favorites to the spread. Nothing like a strategic sugar rush to keep you up until midnight. Here’s how to create a dessert charcuterie board for a crowd.
What we hope you don't do, is pretend like it's just an ordinary day. Photo booths can be really easy to set up- all you need is some kind of backdrop, props, and a camera. The backdrop could be something as simple as a table cloth hung from the ceiling, and the props could be something as easy to find as crazy scarfs or glasses. If you’re looking to create more of a professional looking booth, special New Year’s Eve props can be found at many party stores, as well as online. These usually consist of props that are customized to fit the coming year.
Make Your Own Party Poppers & Noise Makers

If relaxing isn’t your thing and are still wondering what to do on New Year’s Eve alone – why don’t you try reorganizing your home? You may have been planning to declutter your house for the past year or perhaps a specific room is messy.
Keep the night at home but lose the boring with these 15 fantastic family-friendly activities to help celebrate New Year's Eve with kids at home.

Go for a walk around the neighbourhood to look at all the Christmas lights, go for a skate, take the kids tobogganing, have a campfire in the backyard.

According to 24/7 Wall St, about 92% of U.S. adults celebrate New Year's Eve, and approximately 70% stay up past midnight. While some already have elaborate New Year's Eve plans, many choose to stay at home alone or with friends and family rather than go out. While intention-setting can be a solitary activity, it can also feel supportive and motivating to share your goals with your friends. Practically, this can look like creating vision boards together.
Put together a cheese board, supply a few bottles, and ask your guests to bring one or two wines that they’ve been dying to try. Visitors will enjoy magical holiday displays that transform the Harrison lakefront into an enchanting world of lights celebrating the local wildlife as well as the elusive Sasquatch. The popular event has attracted over 4,000 participants and 100,000 spectators in past years, with family-friendly activities, live entertainment, and more for everyone to enjoy.
At Santa’s Workshop, believers young and old can share their special Christmas wishes and take a photo. And make sure you climb aboard the Super Skyride to reach Vancouver’s North Pole and meet the reindeer Dancer and Vixen. The holiday hilarity wraps up on December 31 as The Improv Centre rings in 2023 with a specialNew Year’s Rockin’ Eveevent. Dress up in your best Wes Anderson-inspired costume as there will be chances to win prizes. The festive celebration will also feature trivia, a poster gallery, an exclusive cocktail, and more. Winter has officially arrived on the calendar and the new season has brought a bunch of fun and fantastic events to Vancouver.
A classic way to ring in the New Year at home is by having a marathon of your favorite movies or binging a show you adore. This idea is another thing you can do alone or if you're spending the evening with others. Sign up for an online mixology class with your pals and gather up everything you’ll need to create your own professionally-made cocktails. I wouldn’t mind toasting the new year with an expertly-crafted drink. Fondue is easy to prepare and a great way to wrap dinner and dessert all into one. Cheese and chocolate is the best combo my taste buds know, and by setting out a variety of bites for dipping, you’ll ensure everyone’s satisfied.
Take the time to collect all kinds of items in a time capsule for your family to look back on when these childhood days are a mere memory. Another game from The Idea Room is this New Year's Eve variation on Mad Libs. Simply print the free New Year's Resolutions Mad Libs story along with the answer sheet. Your guests can create some hilarious stories that they then can share with the other guests.
Even if the ones near and dear to your heart are too far to visit, you can still celebrate the new year with them. There are plenty of ways to connect with friends and family online including tons of online games great for groups, and games you can play over FaceTime. Or, keep it simple and play family-friendly board games at home. Fancy dinners can be really fun, especially on NYE when everyone has an extra excuse to get all dressed up, but dinner reservations are hard to come by and most menus are limited on New Years Eve. Instead of navigating that, host your own fancy dinner party!
