Whoever said New Year’s Eve can only be spent by partying hard is perhaps far too young. Personally, if you ask us, we’d be lounging in our couch and eating copious amounts of junk as we welcome the New Year – and there is nothing wrong with that. However, if you’re planning on spending the New Year’s Eve home but wish to make things a tiny bit more interesting, here are some ways you can!

If you have speakers, a microphone, and a computer, this is such an easy way to have a fun New Year’s Eve. Whether you jam out to some Christmas songs, or the best pop songs of the year, karaoke is a great ice breaker and a fun way to get in a mix of seriously making music, or just messing around and being silly with friends.

This is a great option for families because it consists of playing everyone’s favorite games! Whether you decide to make it a board game night, a Wii game night, or maybe even a mix of the two, having a little friendly competition is always fun.

If you’re into fancy alcoholic or nonalcoholic drinks, making your own personal bar might be really fun! Stock up on a ton of special ingredients to make luxurious drinks and then play bar tender for the night!

This one is great for all ages. Gather up all of the blankets and pillows in your house and create a huge fort! You can then bundle up in your comfiest PJs and lay down inside, ready to watch Christmas movies, read a book, talk for hours on end, or watch all of the festivities in Times Square.
