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!

I stay at my mum and dad's house. Curl up on a comfy chair with a good book, drinking Ruby Port. Sod going to a party or being sociable.

I just wanted to ask why reading a book wasn’t an answer. Glad to know that I’m not the only one.

I'm probably weird but New Years Eve has always been my least favorite holiday. It's freezing cold (at least everywhere I've lived), the expectations are ridiculously high, it makes zero sense from a seasonal perspective, and it's mostly celebrated by being drunk and loud (in the US). I think I might be whatever the New Years Eve version of the Grinch is. I'm sure I'd feel a bit different if I got to fly somewhere tropical.

For many years, our tradition was to watch "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Stopped doing that when my mom passed three years ago.
