Creative Ways to Ring In the New Year

It’s that time of year again – the time to celebrate the start of a brand new year!

We all celebrate the New Year in our own special way. However, in case you are looking for something new here are 10 fun ideas to ring in the coming year:

1. Have a themed party - Choose a favorite movie, decade, or holiday to inspire your decorations, activities, and menu. For even more added fun play music and use the lingo from that era.

2. Create a time capsule - If you are having company to ring in the new year, have each guest write down their hopes and dreams for the new year and put them in a box to be opened a year later.

3. Go on an adventure - Take a day trip to a nearby city or go camping in the wilderness. Either way just make sure that it is in your budget and do not go into debt to do this or anything else. We want to go into 2023 as stress free as possible without adding new debt.

4. Reflect on the past year - Take the time to think about what went well and what you can do better in the future. This can help you to identify areas of improvement and make the most of the year ahead.

5. Have a game night - Gather your loved ones for a game of charades, Pictionary, or any other game. Use what you already have for a fun inexpensive way to ring in 2023 with loved ones.

6. Make a New Year’s resolution tree - If you are having people over for New Year’s, have each guest write down and hang their resolution from a tree. Not only is this a fun activity, but it could also keep one another accountable.

7. Make Time for Self-Care - Don’t forget to take some time for yourself as you celebrate the new year. Whether it’s a long bath, a great book, or both; self-care is important and can help you stay refreshed and motivated for the year ahead.

8. Host an outdoor bonfire - Gather around a fire, make s’mores, laugh and tell stories while counting down to midnight. Feel free to add music, karaoke and games for even more fun.

9. Have a potluck - Ask each guest to bring their favorite dish and share a special meal together. To make it even more fun, make it anonymous and try to guess who brought in which dish.

10. Go stargazing - Find a dark spot where you can see the stars and enjoy the beautiful scenery. As we spot each star let’s think of our intentions for the coming year. That way each time we look at the sky in 2023 we will remember our intentions.

No matter how you choose to celebrate the new year, the most important thing is to make the most of each and every moment. Have fun, stay safe, and make sure to enjoy the start of the new year! Have a healthy and wonderful New Year with your loved ones.💛
