1. Set an unusual New Year's table
If you can't refuse home gatherings, at least diversify the table with treats that you have never tried. Let there not be a single familiar dish and drink on your table. Try the cuisine of another country, ask for recipes delicious meals friends and make your own cocktails - alcoholic or not.
There is still a lot of time before the New Year, so you will have time to make an unusual menu.

2. Join the traditions of another country
It's another way to meet New Year with relatives and friends, but make it unusual and memorable. Decorate your home in the style of another country. For example, Japanese kadomatsu or Chinese lanterns and pictures with wishes.
Give each other special gifts, such as homemade candles in Sweden, dogwood sticks in Bulgaria, paired items like cups or candles in China.
10. Celebrate the New Year on a plane

We present to you many different interesting ways, options and ideas where to successfully celebrate the New Year with friends and how to spend New Year's Eve in the company of your best and beloved friends in an original way.
New Year is the main holiday of winter. No other place has so much fun and joy that unites everyone. But everyone prefers to celebrate New Year's Eve in their own way. For some, this is a family holiday, someone wants to be alone with a loved one, and for someone it is important to be in a cheerful and noisy company.
If you are going to celebrate the New Year with friends, but have not yet decided how and where you will celebrate the holiday, the following options (list of places) will help you choose the best way.
party at best friend at home in an apartment
The easiest, but also the most labor-intensive way. If you invite guests to your place, remember that decorating the house, cleaning and cooking will fall entirely on your shoulders. Entertainment, contests, interesting quizzes will help make the holiday fun and memorable. To give New Year's Eve an extra gloss, you can arrange a party to which guests will come in themed costumes.
Let's have a New Year's party on the roof of the house
Bright stars, the glow of garlands, lights and colorful fireworks in the sky will bring a touch of romance to New Year's Eve. Meet the holiday on the roof - quite an exciting way. Do not forget to decorate the roof at least minimally, take hot drinks (mulled wine) and simple delicious snacks with you. And if you have a telescope or binoculars - take it with you, it will be interesting!
Meeting friends in a cafe or a good restaurant
If you think that for the whole year you have already spent a lot of time cooking and cleaning, and you don’t want to stand at the stove on New Year’s Eve, get together with friends in a cafe or restaurant.
You will have fun in your favorite friendly atmosphere, and at the same time celebrate the New Year with joyful smiles and the noisy clink of champagne glasses. Another brilliant opportunity to meet up with old friends. Only a place should be booked in advance, as a rule, a couple of weeks before the New Year there are no free tables left in any cafe and restaurant.
New Year's Eve in a friendly company in the suburbs
If you have a large company, then it is better to go to a country house. The choice of entertainment in the suburbs is unlimited: you can cook barbecue, barbecue, play snowballs, decorate a Christmas tree with garlands right in the yard, make a snowman, go for a walk in the forest or fill a small skating rink. Do not forget to bring fireworks with you, which can be launched under the chimes on New Year's Eve.
Celebration of the New Year in the center of your city
In every city, New Year celebrations are held in the central square. So why not go there? A noisy crowd, perky music, city spruce, champagne splashes and fireworks will provide fun and a festive mood.
Going to the theater (puppet theater, operettas, dramas and comedies) or the Philharmonic
cultural option. Suitable for a small group of friends. On the eve of the holiday, New Year's performances, performances and concerts are popular. This method is good because during the day you can go to the theater with friends, and in the evening celebrate the holiday with your parents, children and loved ones.
Fun trip to resort with friends
Quite an unusual way. True, it requires careful organization and a significant amount of money. You can go to a ski resort, take a dip in the sea in a sunny country, or even go to the homeland of Santa Claus - the choice is unlimited. Here it is important to choose the option that suits you and all your friends.
Wherever you decide to celebrate the New Year with your friends, the main thing is careful organization. Think in advance of all the little things, entertainment and possible force majeure. So you will avoid any unpleasant situations and have fun celebrating the New Year. Happy holidays and carefree pastime! Enjoy, relax and rejoice!
It happens that the expression “New Year is a family holiday” becomes more than just words for you. No friends, no family, just you and him. How to make sure that the most anticipated and exciting night does not leave only disappointment and boredom in your memory, but goes truly wonderful and fabulous?
One of the New Years my close friend met together with her boyfriend : “I put on stockings, beautiful underwear, and he wore jeans and a Santa hat. We sat at the festive table for about 20 minutes at most (and I must say, we devoted half a day to cooking, no less), after which we indulged in love pleasures, and for the rest of the night we watched clips of the 90s on one music channel, discussed them and laughed. It was one of the most unusual New Year holidays in my life.”
When I asked if they were bored, my friend replied: "Not at all! To be honest, I was even surprised. I was afraid that we would sit with sour mines for hours until two in the morning, and then go to bed in pajamas.
Not all couples manage to celebrate the New Year together so that later there are no unfulfilled expectations and unfulfilled desires. Those who still manage to create a New Year's idyll in a tete-a-tete mode are the exception rather than the rule. Which, by the way, is paradoxical: after all, when a loved one is nearby, everything should a priori go well, especially a holiday.
But since each of us subconsciously strives for perfection, we will try to draw up an algorithm of actions that will subsequently lead to a completely successful “paired” meeting of the most anticipated holiday of the year.
Get ready for the New Year together
Namely: decorate the Christmas tree together, decorate the apartment, plan dishes for the festive table (even if there are only 3-4 of them).
Start listening to New Year's songs at least a week before Day X - you will see how everyone's favorite "Let it snow", "Three White Horses", "Happy New Year" and "We wish you a Merry Christmas" will turn a simple day on December 24 into a day "Hooray! A week before the New Year!
All this will help create a New Year's mood for you and your soul mate. We are well aware that most of the failed tete-a-tete holidays are based on the difference in their perception by a man and a woman.
How many couples match this description: he works all day long, finding only a changing picture at home - there was no Christmas tree, here it appeared, and then snowflakes on yesterday's still untouched window, and today the apartment is already full of aromas of delicious dishes. Beloved in a beautiful dress, everything is ready for the celebration. It's just that he's not ready. In fact, he didn’t even realize that the New Year was approaching.
The wife, of course, is smart and beautiful, and he would be happy to support her in an effort to make this night special, but the most important component is missing - the right mood. And I do not believe in a fairy tale, and festive table for him it looks the same as for his birthday or March 8th. He should eat and sleep.
That is why it is necessary to carry out thorough preparations for the holiday together. Understand, noisy and funny company by itself, it will set you in the right mood, but if you have already decided to spend the New Year together, then you will have to work on creating the mood. No time? Find! Go shopping on the weekend, buy groceries for New Year's dishes, choose toys and tinsel for the Christmas tree and decorate the apartment together.
Think carefully about your action plan
But in no case do not imagine in advance what emotions you will experience! So it will become easier to perceive all the events of the night without special expectations, and therefore, possible disappointments.
Let's get back to the plan. Spontaneity is, of course, good, but not always. Agree, you do not want to sit together in silence, mentally biting your elbows and thinking about what you can do with yourself. Salads are eaten, New Year's programs are watched, there seems to be nothing to talk about (and this happens), and in the meantime, New Year's Eve is already striving to be replaced by New Year's morning.
Maybe you decide to stay at home and diversify the usual songs, dances and games with your own intimate ones.
It is for this that you need to make at least an approximate scenario. You might want to go for a walk (weather permitting), set off a small fireworks display; or maybe you decide to stay at home and diversify your usual songs, dances and games with your own intimate ones. For example, card games for undressing, making wishes to each other, board games for adults or the most frank role-playing.
And one more thing: who said that the New Year is a table holiday? And how do you like a holiday in the bathroom? Prepare the bathroom in advance: put citrus-scented candles, spread oranges and tangerines, clove stars, cinnamon sticks everywhere and climb into warm foamy water with your loved one. What is not a wonderful alternative to the constant viewing of New Year's programs on TV?
In general, the choice of all kinds of ways to diversify a wonderful night is quite large, and the whole charm of the New Year together is that you can afford much more than in a noisy company of friends or among your beloved relatives.
Prepare a surprise for your significant other
And now we are not only talking about gifts under the Christmas tree, about them later. You can do for your man what he has long wanted and what he does not expect to receive on this particular day. For example, dance a striptease for him. Yes, yes, in high heels and in some kind of frank peignoir. Please your loved one with a spicy dance - warm up his interest in further events of New Year's Eve.
Now as for gifts: they should be! Necessarily! Someone probably buys presents (and gives them) long before the New Year, others buy something for the house, and still others decide to completely abandon "useless little things that have nowhere to put." But nevertheless, give each other gifts on New Year's Eve! Let it be something completely insignificant, even better if it is something that only makes sense to you two. The ritual of giving creates an unusually pleasant holiday atmosphere.
When the clock strikes 12, and you drink champagne, take your gift from a secluded corner and, accompanying it with warm words, present it to your loved one. And it would be great if he did the same.
Give a holiday to others
Dress warmly and run outside to congratulate passers-by! Trust me, they will be pleased.
"What kind of people?" you ask. “We are alone at home!” And if you have neither the strength nor the desire to sit at home all New Year's Eve? Then go outside, taking with you a pre-prepared "bag of gifts." And let it not be a bag, but a bag, and instead of gifts there will be only sweets, chocolates, sparklers and crackers - still dress warmly and run outside to congratulate passers-by!
Trust me, they will be pleased. And how nice and fun it will be for you! Kindness always returns in double size, so becoming Santa Claus and Snow Maiden for someone is not only interesting, but also quite useful. By the way, is this a sign? Perhaps that is why you stayed together this New Year's Eve to become the main "wizards" for random passers-by who always go in pairs?
And now, after reading a bunch of advice on the theme of the New Year "tete-a-tete" on the Internet and you have a lot of great ideas, close your eyes, lean back in your chair, exhale and calm down. Don't worry that something might go wrong. Whatever gifts you have prepared, no matter how much interesting games no matter what, you'll be fine anyway. Because there will be a loved one next to you. A person whose gaze takes your breath away and next to whom you feel protected and peaceful. Remember, this is going to be an amazing night.
With whom will you celebrate the New Year?

It is not necessary to go somewhere to distant countries or celebrate it in some unusual way. You can celebrate the holiday wonderfully at home. The main thing is to approach the celebration creatively, with festive enthusiasm. It doesn't matter if you're alone or with a noisy company. If desired, this day will be memorable and special, regardless of the number of people at the festive table.
So… Quite a few scenarios for the New Year have already been described. Most often, many people prefer to have themed parties, when people dress up in costumes or gangsters, having a Chicago-style party. Either in Japanese style, in Western style, Hollywood, appearing before the public in chic evening dresses or a tuxedo. Oksana Chistyakova wrote about this very interestingly in the article “How to celebrate the New Year at home”. I advise you to read.
All this is undeniably fun and interesting. But… it already happened. But how can you celebrate the new year at home with friends so that it is fun and interesting? And what if we arrange a short tour of our favorite movies?! How? Well, for example, if you decide to get together in a small, or maybe a large company at someone's house, play scenes from Russian and not only Russian comedies. Only by making a remake in our modern way. Moreover, it is best if these are scenes related specifically to New Year's films.
Still, they remember one of their favorite films, which is traditionally already shown on channels on December 31st. You already guessed what movie in question? Of course - "Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath".
Act out one of the scenes from this film in the manner of how events would develop in ours, modern world. The irony of fate - 30 or even 40 years later! Turn on fantasy, artistry and go! Plus, you don't have to spend money on costumes. Clothing can be absolutely ordinary, everyday - it's a movie! And you are the director. The surroundings can also be ordinary - your apartment. So nothing complicated, the main thing is your imagination and the ability to parody the heroes of the film in a funny way.
In addition to the "Irony of Fate" there are many films, scenes from which can be shown funny and interesting, so that people laugh and get in a great mood for the New Year! For example, "New Year's Tariff", "Magicians", "Carnival Night", "Home Alone", "Intuition" ...
And you can also not say which movie you are showing right now, but let your friends guess for themselves what kind of scene you are playing right now.
You can give everyone a task in advance, think over your script and show it at the party.
And after this exciting film industry, it's time to move on to gifts. And here you can arrange a whole adventure and show.
For example, come up with a quest. Let each guest try to find his gift by going through several tests or using the keys, solving charades and riddles, to find his treasured prize. What to give to your friends, Oksana Chistyakova advises in her article, I think it will be interesting for you to learn about many ideas of what to present to them on this bright holiday.
You can also arrange contests, as in one of the TV shows, such as “My can” or “My can”, when your soul mates compete among themselves for the title of the most daring, strongest, dexterous, artistic and so on. For example, someone who eats a whole lemon at speed, sits down, holding his beloved in his arms, cleans a tangerine without hands, and so on. Here it all depends on your company, who is good for what! The one who proves himself the best in one test receives a prize. This may be a small present that you, as the owners of the house, should think over in advance.
To celebrate the New Year with friends, you can play Crocodile with your company. The rules are as follows: two participants enter the “stage”, one of which makes up a word for the other, any, even tricky and complex. And the other person must show it with facial expressions and gestures to the rest of the participants. The main rule - not a word - only gestures. Very fun and entertaining! Laughter and good mood your company is secured! The one who guessed the word goes out to show the next one, which the one who showed the previous word will guess for him.
Think in advance of the decorations that you will create on the eve of the holiday. Perhaps you dreamed of being together on exotic islands and celebrating the New Year under a palm tree? So what's the deal! Draw on the posters the sea, palm trees, white-white sand. Pin your art to the walls with buttons, and you will feel like you are really in some kind of heavenly place. Just the two of you. Nearby there will be a New Year tree, champagne, a festive table and, most importantly, your love!
And if you are already thinking about a summer vacation, then you can plan it now, in winter. I advise you to read the tips in the article "Where to go on vacation in the summer".
And you can stick luminescent stars, planets on the ceiling, light candles, garlands - the atmosphere of the holiday will be amazing. Imagine that you are on another planet!
It is very romantic to celebrate the New Year by the fireplace. Of course, not everyone has such an opportunity in an apartment. Do you remember the fairy tale about Pinocchio? In the same place, Papa Carlo also had not a real fireplace, but a painted one! Why not be kids and create a similar one in your apartment?! Draw a fireplace on paper, and candles can serve as fire ... a lot of candles.
Lay a blanket next to it, turn off the light, lay out festive dishes right on the floor. Why traditionally on the table? May this year not be the same as before. Let's break away from tradition - sit at the table and watch holiday programs on TV! You can also have a picnic near the fireplace!
You can read more about ideas on how to celebrate the New Year together in Oksana Chistyakova's article.

In general, the most important thing in a holiday is your imagination! The main thing is to approach this issue creatively, with a share of humor, adventurism, even if you don’t forget this New Year’s Eve. After all, the truth is they say, as you meet him, so you will spend!
Or you can take and dial an unfamiliar number together and congratulate people on the holiday. And perhaps it is your congratulations that will make someone happy. Perhaps this person celebrates this day alone, and your kind words will make this person feel not alone. But it's so great to do good deeds and know that thanks to you someone now smiled ...
