New Year’s Eve is going to be a little bit different this year…no doubt about it. Even if your tradition is to stay home and watch the ball drop, it is not going to be the same. No crowd in Times Square. Will there be performers? Probably…but there won’t be a live audience. Kinda weird.
So if you need some ideas to jazz things up a little, I’m your girl.

Make Special Sparkly Cocktails
Stir a little sprinkle of edible luster dust {affiliate link} into your champagne, prosecco, hard cider, sprite…whatever (as long as it’s a clear liquid)! Give it a little stir and be amazed! If you stir too vigorously and the glass is too full, it might overflow. So just be mindful.

NYE Fun
There might not be much to watch on TV this NYE so why not…
Have a Family Game Night!
Some suggestions…
Left, Center, Right, Wild (Thanks for this one Stephanie!)
I played this game the other day with a small group of friends. It is SO SIMPLE and SO MUCH FUN.
We each brought $10 in cash, but you’ll need singles if you want to play with money.
You start out with three $1 bills in front of you for each round. If someone rolls three wilds on the dice, they get to keep the pot in the middle. The winner is the last person left with any dollars.
I ordered this from Amazon, and it came in one day (even with all the crazy shipping times right now.)
The Resistance (Thanks for this one Kate!)
“Your ability to lie to your friends and know when they are lying to you is critical to win.”
This game was recommended by my sister. She played it in college with some friends and said it was a lot of fun.
CodeNames (Thanks for this one Jenny!)
“Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin.”
I played this one with a large group of friends a few Thanksgivings ago. I really enjoyed it!
