A new year celebration at home can be a fantastic opportunity to bond, have fun, and ring in the new year with loved ones. Here are four ways to celebrate New Year’s Eve at home and make it a night to remember!

1. Make a Photo Booth

A photo booth can be really easy to set up, just prepare a beautiful and festive backdrop, props, and (of course) a camera. A beautiful tablecloth can act as a basic backdrop when hung from the ceiling and props could be something as easy as oversized glasses for the coming year, top hats, and confetti to make all the photos pop. Kids and teens always love things like this, and it’s a great way to document a new year celebration.

2. The Ultimate Family Game Night

For families with younger kids, just making it to midnight on New Year’s Eve can be quite a challenge. Keep everyone happy at a new year celebration with a big pile of games options. Whether it's a board game, Wii, or maybe even a mix of the two, a little friendly competition is always exciting. To add more fun, play “the year in review” game to remember the past year's milestones and memories. Kids will enjoy sharing new skills they learned or big events they remember and teach them to share their intentions or goals for the next year.

3. Have a Hearty Dinner

Many people think that fondue just screams NYE party. It's easy to set up a snacking table with breads, fruits, and meats surrounding a pot of melted cheese. Feeling a little intimidated by making this menu? Don't fret! From finger food to crowd-pleasing mains, there's many other food options to serve throughout the new year celebration.

One traditional treat that's a must-try is Denmark’s well-loved traditional Danisa Butter Cookies. The buttery taste and the crisp texture pairs perfectly with a cup of tea, making it a perfect companion for every special moment with the family.

4. Watch the Fireworks

There’s something magical about fireworks that brings back pleasant memories. Head up to the rooftop with the family and watch the neighborhood or city-wide fireworks. There's no grander way to celebrate the new year than watching explosions of color light up the sky!

Whether the decision is to host a neighborhood party at home or just cozy up with the family, don't miss the opportunity to celebrate the arrival of 2020. It's a new year with endless opportunities for new beginnings. With these tips above, make it a New Year's eve to remember!
