New Year's Eve is traditionally a fun night out for mom and dad, but with toddlers in the house, there’s very little chance of sleeping in. This year, let’s try something different! Toss your confetti in the air at noon with a fun lunchtime celebration the whole family can enjoy. Instead of going crazy at midnight, try a Noon Year’s Eve party! The neighbors won’t complain about the noise and your kiddos can stick to their usual bedtimes.
Ways to Make it Fun
- Designate a theme like Glitzy Glam, Festive Friday or Pajama Party!
- Gather silly hats and glasses for fun pictures with friends!
- Decorate party hats with markers, glitter glue, feathers and pompoms!
- Turn up the music! Who can resist a good dance party?
- Rather than setting off loud fireworks, grab some confetti poppers or Christmas crackers!
- Cue up last year’s Ball Drop on youtube so you can countdown to 12:00!
- Build a kid friendly menu with charcuterie style snacks that little hands can easily grab. Carrot sticks, cheese cubes, meat sticks, pretzels, dried fruit…
- Don’t forget the special drinks! Root beer floats, Shirley Temples, or sparkling grape juice make for a memorable party that everyone will enjoy.
