Have you thought about how you will ring in the New Year? Yes, I know we haven’t celebrated Christmas yet, but I know I’ve been thinking and planning (at least in my head) about what we will do for New Year’s Eve this year. We have had fun celebrating as a family the last few years and we plan to do the same again this year.

Love all these great New Years Eve ideas for the whole family to celebrate together. Ideas for activities, crafts, mocktails, desserts and printables all for a fun way to ring in the New Year as a family.

 

I think this year, we are going to add a few other families to our celebration. Our kids are old enough that having friends makes it more fun and they are old enough, I think they can handle staying up to ring in the New Year (as opposed to years past when we have run in the New Year at 10 or 11 pm instead).

Even with adding a few other families to our New Year’s Eve fun, I think we will keep the format similar with our hourly bags. I’m thinking that each family that comes will be in charge of a bag or two. So, they will bring the idea for the activity as well as what little trinket or gifty goes in the bag. We may use some of these New Year’s Eve kits (affiliate link) and our Amazon Prime shipping (affiliate link) to make it even easier and faster. I think it will be fun!

So here are 20 different ideas to help give me and you some inspiration for celebrating New Year’s Eve with your family.

When it comes time for dessert, you can have some fun with these Champagne Cupcakes. I love how easy it was to add the bubbles on top of the cupcakes. I’m sure if you prefer to not have the alcohol in the cupcakes, you could mix up a plain batch of cupcakes and use the idea from Pizzazzerie for the bubbles on top.

Another really cute idea for the trinket or gifty in a bag (such as the midnight bag), would be this adorably packaged confetti from Bloom Design Online…I’m just not sure I want to clean it up, but it is so cute, it may make it into our bags this year.

Now when it comes time to ring in the New Year, everyone needs to have fun making a toast. Start with some pretty glasses because everyone feels special when they have a pretty glass. I made these a few years ago and we have enjoyed using them. They are just inexpensive glasses from IKEA on which I used glass etching cream. Love all these great New Years Eve ideas for the whole family to celebrate together.

    I like how you made non-alcoholic mocktails for the kids so that they’d feel included when it was time to toast. This new years eve, I want to have a great celebration. I want there to be food and drinks and lots of fun all around. Your article should help me to make a great NYE.

Who could use some fun about now? It's been a roug Who could use some fun about now? It's been a rough year for literally the world. As moms, I think we have taken a huge hit as well. The demands placed on us this year seem to have tripled. I think it's time to have a sucker - maybe made out of wine 😂 and plan something fun or maybe even just 5 minutes alone or without a kid needing us. 🤣 #5minutesformom #realmoms⁣

I love these simple stars I made last year. 🤩 They feel kinda perfect for this year....just a nod to 4th of July and a bigger nod to cuteness. 😉  You can learn how to make them at the link in my bio @realcreativerealorganized ⁣

As I've been sharing in my stories for the last we As I've been sharing in my stories for the last week, I realize there are much bigger world stories. For our family story, today holds a graduation! What a year to graduate! For a kid who doesn't really want to graduate and enter adult life, it sure has been a rocky transition. All the fun stuff that ends a high school career just disappeared for her after she worked so hard to get there, like so many other seniors. We know it is for a good reason, but it stinks to be a Senior this year. Today, we celebrated with a social distancing "individual" graduation. I'm so grateful our school district found a way to celebrate their accomplishments and I'm so proud of the woman my daughter has become. I can't wait to see what the future brings for my smart and kind math and science nerd of a daughter. 🤓😍 ⁣
