Believe it or not, the New Year is just around the corner. I know, I know, it’s hard to believe that we are fast approaching 2022. After a crazy holiday season and a brutally cold December, you may want to celebrate the New Year at home this year. Check out these New Year’s party ideas and plan a memorable night for everyone who makes the guest list! 

Host a Dinner Party

Depending on how you want to celebrate, you can invite all your friends and relatives or have a quieter party with one or two best friends! Share the workload when it comes to dinner by having each guest bring a dish. Feeling lost for recipes? We love these New Year’s dinner recipes from Ahead of Thyme. Keep the conversation going by having everyone share their favorite memory of 2021.

Host a Cocktail Party

If you’re looking for a classic activity that's a little more relaxed, try a cocktail party! Create a party playlist of jazz standards, try a few new cocktail recipes (we love these from Delish), and ask each guest to bring an hors d'oeuvres. If they’re not comfortable in the kitchen, something simple like a fruit and veggie platter or cracker and cheese tray is always great to have on hand. Grab a few bottles of bubbly or sparkling apple cider to cheers with at midnight! 

Host a Murder Mystery Party

 Alright, here’s one for those looking to have an adventure this NYE! Combine mystery and glamour into your New Year’s party with this Masquerade Murder Mystery from Masters of Mystery. Give your guests the opportunity to dress up and partake in a Venetian-inspired night like no other!

Host a Pajama Party

Looking to stay cozy and relaxed this New Year’s Eve? That doesn’t mean you can’t still party! Who says pajama parties are only for kids? Invite your close friends or family over, put on your coziest clothes, and settle in for a night of pizza, wine (or soda), and some great movies and TV shows. Good Housekeeping has a great list of movies to watch on New Year’s Eve and The Verge also came up with a list of the best 2021 shows on Netflix!
