Grab a favorite bottle of bubbly before the clock strikes 12 and get ready to party with these New Year’s Eve festive quarantine ideas. You’re bound to find a few celebratory ideas you love, from setting up a creative New Year’s resolution to organizing an amazing New Year’s Eve brunch. Here are some ideas to celebrate new year’s eve at home.

1. Make a New Year’s brunch

Brunch is the best food — so you are going to want to include it on your last day of the year plans. A festive dish, like the strawberry cheesecake flapjacks, can do the trick of a pinch. Yeah, and you’re certainly going to want to pour a mimosa (New Year’s Eve is never too early for champagne!).

2. Decorate

It wouldn’t have been New Year’s Eve without a glittering decoration or two. Add a special touch to your home with 2021 over-the-top balloons. Bonus: If you plan to take photos, they’re the ideal photo background.

3. Get dressed up

Just because you’re sitting at home doesn’t mean you’ve got to wear your PJs (even though you want to, you should!). Put your favorite dress up and some fierce make-up for New Year’s Eve. Who cares if it’s the cat that just sees it?

4. Make a festive cocktail

Your NYE party is just as good as the drink you want at midnight toast with, so that is the best thing for you to do. The champagne confetti treats are an excellent place to start!

5. Take some pics

Everyone enjoys a good photo booth. Purchase and mount some Insta-worthy props in front of a DIY backdrop. To make a simple wall, wrap silver or gold wrapping paper—preferably one for natural light in front of a window.

7. Write down your resolutions

You have extra time to reflect on your New Year’s goals because you will be at home this year. Try to cover a number of buckets – work, wellness, finances, and self-care – and get ready for the year to come.

8. Make a memory jar

Here’s a funny idea to keep the “Memory Jar” over the next twelve months for New Year’s Eve. Write it down on a piece of paper and place it in the jar every time something spectacular happens. Moments like ticket stubs and cards can also be used. You could open the container and take a stroll down memory lane on New Year’s Eve 2022.

9. Have A Dance Party

Switch up the jams and let them go online with friends and family while they are all counting down until midnight. Get a dance-off if you want it competitive. Or even more so, if you want to lift the stakes to show the dumb side that is in us all, make the party a lipsync battle.

10. Play A Game

Nothing says “together” like a fun game, whether it is a game of Bingo, Family Feud, or what you have. Do you want it to be competitive? If you are a host, buy your winner online gift cards. The platform also has several games to play if you host the event through Zoom.

11. Make Predictions For 2021

These can be dumb, serious, and nice — but let’s be honest. Make a forecast of a guest or more for 2021 for each person living with you or someone who participated. Write down your predictions – and when you ring in 2022, next to New Year’s Eve, check this list to see if any forecast came true.

12. Watch Movies All Night

Watching an exciting flick could be up your alley for someone who prefers to bring in 2021 at a much quieter pace and with fewer people involved. On special occasions, movies you might enjoy at that center include “New Year’s Eve,” “The Holiday” and “Bridget Jones’s Diary.” Eventually, feel free to watch whatever you want regardless of what might be the genre/theme.

13. Make A Festive Dinner

Whip up something delicious at home instead of ordering out or picking up some tasty grub from your favorite restaurant. With macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans, ham, roasted chicken, and so on, you can never go wrong. Yeah, and don’t miss the dessert!
