1. Arrange a photo zone

If you are expecting guests, it would be a great idea to arrange a place where everyone can take pictures in festive outfits — as if at some big event. Then you can print these pictures and give them to everyone present as a keepsake.

Sharing a photo will help guests to leave pleasant memories of the evening — use a timer or a selfie stick.

To decorate the photo zone beautifully, choose a suitable background, hang garlands, toys, wreaths of Christmas tree branches, take care of good lighting. Prepare the props in advance: festive masks and funny accessories.

2. Organize a themed party

Both children and adults love to transform, so feel free to warn guests that you are waiting for them in fancy dress. The subject can be any. For example:

  • The Carnival of Venice.
  • Animals.
  • Pirates.
  • Celebrities.
  • Retro.
  • Cinema.

Let the guests show their imagination. And at the same time, you can arrange a competition for the best outfit.

Do not limit the reflection of the theme of the evening to costumes alone — the main motif can be presented on the table. For example, to collect treats of the same color or dishes of a certain cuisine or country of origin.

3. Arrange a master class

A few hours before the New Year, when everyone has already gathered, invite the guests to a master class. Stock up on everything you need in advance and offer to prepare a cocktail or dessert under your guidance.

For children, you can arrange a master class on coloring homemade cookies or building a gingerbread house. And it will be interesting for guests of all ages to create their own Christmas tree toy.

4. Conduct games and contests

If the crocodile, stickers, mafia and twister are already tired, then here are some more ideas.

Cotton balls

In order not to sit too long at the table and stretch a little, you can compete in accuracy. To do this, prepare a target from a bucket and take turns throwing cotton balls there from a distance of several meters. They won't fly very well, so fun and excitement are guaranteed.

The funniest photo

Invite the guests to capture funny moments during the evening, and at the end of the celebration, vote for the best picture and present the prize to the winning photographer.

Casual entertainment

Add variety by adding an element of surprise to contests and games. Come up with a list of entertainments in advance, write down their names on sheets of paper and put them in an opaque bag or box. On New Year's Eve, invite the guests to get a piece of paper and play the game that fell out.

New Year's Quest

A great way to entertain both children and adults is to arrange a hunt for gifts: draw a "pirate map" or spread out notes with hints around the house. To do this, you can divide the participants into groups or give instructions individually to everyone.

5. Play board or video games

If you don't really want to get up from the table, then board games and computer games will help you have an interesting time. Get out a lotto, monopoly or console and arrange fun sweeps. You can organize a tournament or a marathon — for example, play all the games at least once.

6. Record the "interview from the past"

This entertainment can be turned into an annual holiday tradition. Ask the guests in the video to talk about the past year and share plans for the future — on the condition that you definitely watch it together for the next New Year. For interest, you can add tricky questions or ask them to tell you about the funniest cases.

7. Arrange a karaoke or disco

What is a holiday without songs and dances? Use ready-made playlists or create your own. At the same time, you can arrange a competition for the best performance.

Install in advance 🎵

8. Run a marathon of your favorite movies or TV series

Avid moviegoers or couples can arrange a New Year's marathon of their favorite movies. Prepare a selection of movies or TV shows in advance, stock up on your favorite food and drinks and enjoy.

9. Arrange an evening of nostalgia

A good way to add emotion to a holiday is to view photos and videos from your home archive. Think about the past and dream about what you would like in the new year.

10. Celebrate the "lazy" New Year

If you are completely tired of everything, including the New Year's fuss, arrange a real holiday for yourself and do nothing. Buy your favorite food in advance, do not invite anyone and do not go to visit yourself, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and spend the evening reading or watching TV, taking your time and doing nothing.

This item goes well with the marathon of your favorite movie, so they can be combined.

11. Spend the New Year without electricity and gadgets

A great way to celebrate a holiday together is to arrange a romantic evening without TV, smartphones and information noise. You can even turn off electricity, celebrate the New Year by candlelight (observing safety requirements, of course) and devote your time completely to each other.

12. Go to the country for the holidays

If you have a warm cottage or a country house, you can have a wonderful holiday there. Arrange a round dance around a live fir tree, cook food on fire, play snowballs and make a snowman — this is an incomplete list of outdoor activities. You can also go to the sauna, fire fireworks, shoot firecrackers and light sparklers. Just remember about safety precautions.
