Hosting a Memorable New Year's Eve Party 

December is nearly over and that means it’s time to start planning your New Year's Eve celebration! Whether you are hosting at home, heading out to a party, or looking for something different this year, we have some tips on how to make sure your New Year’s Eve is one for the books. 

Set a Theme for Your Party 

One of the best ways to make sure your New Year's Eve celebration stands out from all the rest is to set a theme. Whether you go for something as simple as “black and white” or as complex as “the Roaring 20s,” having a theme will help bring focus and organization to your event. Plus, it can be fun and engaging for everyone in attendance! 

Decorate Accordingly 

The decorations you use should both reflect the theme of your party and be tailored specifically to the size of your space. If you are hosting in a smaller area, opt for fewer but larger decorations like banners or streamers. If you have more space available, such as an outdoor area or large living room, then take advantage by setting up multiple sections with their own decor and activities. You can even create an entire mockup city skyline with lights! Whatever style of decor you choose, make sure it fits within the spirit of your chosen theme.

Add Some Fun Activities 

No good party is complete without activities! Card games are always great party options because they don't require any extra equipment (just cards) and can accommodate any number of people playing at once. If you want to go all out with your New Year's celebrations this year, why not organize a karaoke night? This can be done easily with a laptop and speakers if money is tight. Other options include board games like Scrabble or charades—there's something for everyone here! 

The Best Beers, Ales and Hard Seltzers for Your New Year’s Eve Celebration 

Beers 

When it comes to New Year’s Eve beers, there are two types that take center stage - lagers and IPAs. Lagers are the most popular type of beer around the world and come in light or dark varieties. For a lighter option, try a Pilsner-style beer.  For something darker and maltier, go for an amber lager.  IPAs, on the other hand, tend to be hoppier than lagers and have more intense aromas and flavors.

Ales 

Ales are another popular choice for New Year’s Eve parties. They come in various styles such as pale ales, wheat ales, brown ales and stouts. Pale ales are light-bodied beers that typically have hoppy aromas and flavors while wheat ales are usually slightly sweet with notes of banana or clove. Brown ales tend to be on the malty side with hints of caramel while stouts can be heavier in body but still smooth with hints of coffee and chocolate flavors.  

Hard Seltzers 

This year break away from traditional cocktails or sugary soda and introduce hard seltzers into your New Years get-together! These fruity creations are low in calories, light on alcohol content, and offer an array of fun flavors for your guests to choose from. Plus, with their simple packaging and easy-to-carry designs they make preparing for a New Years Party easier than ever before!

With so many delicious beers, ales and seltzers available this holiday season it can be hard decide which one is right for you! We hope this list has provided some helpful suggestions that will make your New Year's Eve celebration even more special this year - cheers! Whether it's a hoppy IPA or a sparkling hard seltzer; here's wishing you a happy 2023 filled with joyous gatherings & lots of delicious drinks! Cheers!
