New Years: New Years' Eve In

Classically, New Year's Eve is a night to go out to parties with friends and find the perfect person to kiss once the clock strikes midnight. But what if you just want to spend a quiet night in, maybe with some friends, maybe by yourself? Don’t fear, there’s a ton of things you can do! If you’re looking to spend a quiet New Year's Eve in, check out these ideas for fun things to do, without even leaving the comfort of your home.

Play Board Games

This is a great idea if you have a few friends that are spending the night in with you! Games such as Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly are great if you’re looking for something that will take up a lot of time. Cards Against Humanity and Charades are the perfect games for people looking to add a little bit of laughter into their night.

Have a Movie Marathon

This idea is very versatile, as it can be done by yourself or with a group of friends! First, pick out what movies you’re going to watch. You can go with a series, such as Lord of the Rings or The Hunger Games, or a common theme, such as superheroes of Christmas! If you don’t have a theme or series in mind, you can put together a list of your favourites and pick a few at random, or find a bunch of movies you’ve been meaning to watch but haven’t seen yet and maybe even find a new favourite. Then get your favourite movie snacks, snuggle up on the couch, and press play!

Read (Or Write!) a Book

If you’re in school, you know that reading and writing tend to get pushed aside and replaced with assignments and essays. New Year's Eve is the perfect time to get caught up on all of the reading and writing that you missed throughout the semester! Find a book or grab a notebook, sit in a quiet place and go to town.

Whatever you choose to do, never feel bad about wanting to spend a quiet night in on the holiday. Whether you’re by yourself or with a group of friends, you can always find something to do in the comfort of your home!
