Wondering how to celebrate New Year’s Eve this year? Here are a few ideas for making the holiday a good one! Ring in the New Year in style by doing one of these activities:

1. Attend a street party.
   
   Most cities host open air events that include live music, fireworks, and more! The biggest one in the U.S. is definitely Times Square, but you can check the city closest to you to see what kinds of outdoor festivities they’re having, then go out and hit the town!
   
   

2. Go to a casino.
   
   Most casinos host New Year’s celebrations, which include everything you need to ring in the New Year: dinner, live shows, bands, comedians, and of course, cards, slot machines, and drinks! This is one way to start the year in style.
   
   

3. Go skiing.
   
   For something a little less flashy, sports and outdoors lovers should hit the slopes on New Year’s Eve. Ski resorts often have celebrations that include fireworks, buffets, and lift ticket packages, making this a fun family activity that everyone can enjoy.
   
   

4. Have a movie night.
   
   If you don’t like the idea of going out on New Year’s Eve, you can still have a great time staying in. Grab a few friends and have a movie marathon, complete with popcorn and midnight champagne. Pick a variety of movies you’ve been wanting to watch or create a movie night theme!
   
   

5. Watch the ball drop.
   
   Perhaps the most popular tradition for New Year’s Eve is watching the ball drop. This is actually an old tradition, dating back to 1904, but it’s still just as popular today. Best of all, you can watch the ball drop not just once, but a few times by tuning into New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles for their respective midnights!

What are your plans this year? Whatever they are, have a fun, safe, and happy New Year!
