For some, New Year’s Eve is just another night to get through, during which, purely as a coincidence, the calendar turns to new numbers. To which you are oblivious during the course of January and still write the date as if it was the year before. Been there, done that many times. To others, celebrating New Year’s has huge importance - saying goodbye to another year is, in itself, a very poetic thing to do. However, no matter which group you belong to, there’s always the question of what to do on New Year’s Eve. Even if you don’t celebrate it, you won’t be able to sleep with all the fireworks and rowdy party-goers.

You know, there are actually tons of things to do on New Year’s Eve, and we’ve compiled most of them in this nifty little list. One of them would be to reflect on the lessons from the last year - it’s not always pleasant, but so very worth it. Then, a big hit in the parade is making resolutions for the upcoming year. However, if you’re not the self-reflective type, there are loads of other fun things to do on New Year’s Eve, too! For instance, you could travel to another country to celebrate it (or celebrate it twice!), or you could spend the day exploring or making your own New Year’s decorations. And these are just a couple of examples of cool things to do! 

But for more, you’ll have to scroll on down below and check out our list of how to make your New Year’s celebration one you won’t forget the moment the calendar flips to the next one. Once you read our suggestions, be sure to vote for the ones you’ve liked the most. And lastly, have the most wonderful New Year’s Eve!

    This week it's projected to be -33C (-28F) where I live but maybe it will warm up a bit for new years. Really though starting a new year in the dead of northern hemisphere winter is a bit silly.

    I am very sorry, but “anxiety about large people “ just sounds funny. If you suffer from Gigantopersonophobia, I apologize.

    Travel to where? I'm really not open to be kidnapped by aliens and taken to Venus. I already did it a couple of years ago for national saxophone day and it was so overrated.
