“What a decade this year has been”
Countdown to 12 PM
A Noon Year’s Eve celebration is a great way to ring in the New Year if you or your kids have trouble staying up until Midnight. For easy preparation serve lunch or a variety of snacks. I made a pizza with pepperoni arranged in the number of the new year. To keep things light I had some fruits and vegetables ready.
Happy Noon Year’s Eve
Cotton Candy Clouds with Sparkling Cider
Make it Special
Keep things easy but make it special. I got some cotton candy and tore off little clouds to suspend over fancy glasses. Pour sparkling cider over the top for a fun drink.
Have everyone write down wishes for the New Year and keep them to read next New Year’s. A few confetti poppers to POP in the New Year and you’ve set the tone for an optimistic year!
Confetti Poppers & Wishes for the New Year
Easy Decorations
Look to see what you already have and let that help dictate your theme - it’s New Year’s so practically anything will work. I used some things I already had from our Keeper of the Lost Cities Party.
For an easy, custom sign nothing beats craft paper, stencils, and markers. I cut out clock hands from black cardstock.
