Fun ways to ring in the New Year as a family

2024 is just around the corner, but there’s still enough time to plan a memorable kid-friendly New Year's Eve.

New Year’s Eve may not be the party it once was now that you have little ones, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the fun!

You may not be able to go to the club but there are other ways to have fun.

Here are several ways to celebrate New Year’s Eve with kids:

1. watch an on-demand countdown
2. make a DIY balloon drop
3. make it fancy
4. have a dance party
5. set up a photo booth
6. do a “favourites” night
7. play games (virtually) with friends
8. try a late night

Or, you can also …

• Dress up
Are you tired of your everyday clothes? Don’t be afraid to go all-out and over the top when dressing up for your special New Year’s Eve party. Wear that dress that only gets worn on special occasions. Dress up the kids as well, with long white gloves, pearls, bow ties and tiaras which can be found at a local party store. Paint their nails and style their hair.

• Play barista and create a cocktail
You can add a little bit of alcohol to the adult’s cocktails. Give it a long and important-sounding name and garnish it to the point of ridiculousness, drink it in your fanciest glassware and be sure to toast the new year.

• Build a fort
Building a fort with your children is great fun for every member of the family. You can bring in some snacks and play a movie on the laptop. The upside of a blanket fort is that once it’s built you can sequester the kids in there until they fall asleep.

• Make it glow
Illuminate the awesomeness of being awake when it’s dark by taking glow sticks and sticking them inside balloons to make glowing balloons! Pretty easy and pretty cool.
