Fun at Home on New Year’s Eve
Do you just want to have a nice evening at home? Try these ideas for New Year’s Eve family fun:
- Make a fun chocolate fondue and dip marshmallows, fruit, and pretzels. Talk about all the great things that happened in 2019.
- Pop some popcorn and watch the ball drop in Times Square.
- Make a family New Year’s Resolution list. Some things on my list: be kind, take advantage of our Meijer Gardens membership, don’t say yes to everything, and take more family walks together.
- Netflix offers several New Year’s Eve countdown videos–this means you can ring in the “New Year” as a family with apple juice at 8:00 PM and tuck the kids in bed.
- Go for a nighttime hike or walk around your neighborhood. Use a headlamp or flashlight to stay safe and let the kids get decked out in glow sticks.
- Finish up some of those holiday crafts you never got to. Did you know that GRKIDS has a Pinterest board? Check out our Create it Mom Board and our Chef Mom Board!
It doesn’t really matter what you do–it’s just fun to have a family New Year’s Eve tradition, even when you don’t leave the house.
