There are many ways to start the new year. Some like it loud and colorful, others relaxed and cozy. We have collected 11 tips to liven up the cozy New Year's Eve a bit - because no matter where or with whom you start the new year, it should still be something special. And these points make New Year's Eve at home something special for us:

1. The right cocktail

    Just because you're celebrating at home doesn't mean you have to miss out on fancy drinks. How about the stylish Winter Lillet or our non-alcoholic Lilac drink ?

    2. Delicious food

      The point is actually obvious 😅 Whether alone or with friends - delicious food on New Year's Eve is a must. The classic is of course raclette in every imaginable variation - there is something for everyone!

      3. Festive decoration

      Garlands, a golden tablecloth, decorative napkins, props for funny photos and glittering balloons - with a little decoration and a few small accessories, the living room is transformed into the perfect New Year's Eve location!

      4. A glittery outfit

      Goodbye sweatpants and sweaters (unless they glitter 😬) – turn your home into a catwalk! With a glittery outfit, the party mood comes all by itself – no matter how many people you’re celebrating with! If you prefer a comfortable outfit – go for it – anything goes, nothing is necessary. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable!

      5. Unpack board and card games

      Everything from Monopoly to UNO to Ludo can be unpacked. Solve tricky escape games together or turn the evening into a crime puzzle - the choice is yours!

      6. Watch Dinner for One

      Of course, the New Year's Eve classic cannot be missed and what better way to end a year than with a good laugh? "The same procedure as every year, James!"

      7. Champagne to toast

      Sparkle into the New Year at midnight with the right sparkling water! Whether it's champagne, prosecco or sparkling wine - the main thing is that it sparkles!

      8. Dance your heart out

      Turn your living room into a dance floor! Dim the lights, turn up the music and shake off the old year while dancing. Positive vibes only - just like Taylor Swift's motto: Shake it off!

      9. Write down New Year's resolutions

      New year, new luck! What do you want to achieve next year, what are your wishes? Write it down but be patient and realistic – not everything can be changed or achieved in the first week of January!

      10. Make a fun New Year's Eve TikTok

      Pictures are a nice memory – but how about a funny New Year's Eve TikTok? You could then share that with your New Year's wishes 😉

      11. No Pressure!

      The food burns, the champagne is dropped, cards or pieces are missing from the games? So be it! Don't let it spoil your mood and laugh about the fails! Life isn't perfect and neither are we humans - and that's a good thing!

      We wish you a happy new year and a great start into the new year!
