Traditionally, on New Year's Eve, family members and friends gather at a large table. The holiday usually takes place in the format of a feast with plentiful treats, alcohol, watching TV. To make New Year's Eve remembered as the happiest holiday, you can diversify it with contests, games, funny scenes. After all, as you know, the whole next year will pass as you meet it. Come up with an unusual scenario for a family for the New Year 2020, go out of town, go ice skating at night, celebrate a holiday on the beach in an exotic country - there are many ideas, and you will definitely find the right option.
Where and how to celebrate the New Year with your family in 2020?
In order for the holiday to take place in a sincere, relaxed atmosphere, you need to think over the New Year's program in advance. All those present should be involved in the script so that no one gets bored at the festive table. A New Year with your family can be done as a theme party:
- Carnival Night. Masks are handed out to everyone, the house is decorated with a paper serpentine, retro music is played, funny dances are arranged. Come up with entertaining contests and stage performances so as not to get bored during the holiday.
- Alice in Wonderland. This format is suitable for a family with children. Kids will be delighted with the magic tea drinking, they will be happy to dress up in the costumes of the Cheshire Cat, Alice, Hatter, Red Queen. Adults will surely enjoy the fun contests and fabulous surroundings.
- Hipsters. Dress up in vibrant retro dresses and costumes, have matching hairstyles, and have fun dancing until the morning.
- Oscar award ceremony. Stylish outfits are suitable for such a party. It is necessary to lay the red carpet, prepare statuettes and come up with nominations in which each family member will receive his Oscar.
When the theme of the holiday is chosen, you can start writing the program. Consider the age of all family members: it will be difficult for grandparents to arrange incendiary dances all night, and young people will get bored if they have to solve puzzles and crosswords throughout the holiday. If there are kids at the party, think of more simple, fluid contests. Also, kids love to transform into fairy-tale heroes, so a fancy-dress holiday is suitable for them.
How else can you celebrate the New Year 2020 with your family:
- It is not necessary to sit at a table full of high-calorie salads and hot dishes. Step out into the fresh air with snacks, fruit, a thermos of hot tea, and a bottle of sparkling wine in your picnic basket. On the street, you can come up with many interesting activities: dance around the Christmas tree with a friendly family, make a big snowman, play snowballs, and sled down a hill. At 12 o'clock sharp, arrange a competition to see who shouts his desire louder.
- In order not to get bored in front of the TV on New Year's Eve, dress up in the costumes of Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, a snowman, a mouse and go to congratulate your friends and acquaintances. The main thing is not to stay too long at a party: they handed over a gif.webpt, sang a New Year's song, had a round dance and went to the next house.
Expect your company to grow significantly. Surely there will be people willing to share the general fun.
- If you decide to stay at home, arrange the shooting of a New Year's movie. Let each family member say a congratulatory speech to the camera, then everyone will sing a New Year's song, the children recite the learned poems. Santa Claus will distribute gif.webpts and offer to participate in a fun competition.After the holiday, the recording is edited, and the New Year's film will remain a long memory. You can arrange a viewing on Christmas - there will be a reason to get together with the whole family and laugh heartily.
Where to celebrate the New Year?
It is not necessary to spend the winter holidays with your family at home, because there are so many interesting places where you can celebrate the New Year 2020 unforgettably. If you want to have an inexpensive vacation, go on a tour of Russian cities. There are many beautiful places in our country where the New Year's holiday will be bright and unforgettable.
Where can you go for the New Year:
- Recreation center. Choose the city you would like to go to and book in advance places at the recreation center. As a rule, there are no vacant rooms for the New Year, so you need to take care of this in advance. On New Year's Eve, at recreation centers, in boarding houses, sanatoriums, funny programs with a festive menu and entertainment are arranged. And after the holiday, you can visit SPA treatments, ride a sleigh, take a steam bath and just take a walk with the whole family in the forest.
- Moscow region. To arrange a magical holiday in the middle of nature, go to the Moscow region for the New Year. The family will relax outside the city in a rented cottage, walk in the fresh air and have fun.
- Exotic countries. If there is such an opportunity, go to celebrate the New Year in warm regions. A holiday spent on the beach under the rustle of the waves will never be forgotten. Book tours for the New Year in advance, since there are many who want to fly away from the cold winter to the hot summer before the holidays.
How to celebrate the New Year?
The upcoming 2020 will be held under the auspices of the White Metal Rat. To appease the capricious and unpredictable totem animal, choose the following colors for your festive outfits:
- metal;
- white;
- grey;
- asphalt;
- ivory;
- lactic;
- cream.
Clothes should not be too pretentious: the Rat loves stylish outfits that do not hinder movement. Even if you celebrate the New Year with your family, do a beautiful hairstyle, manicure and festive makeup. Silver jewelry is the best choice for jewelry.
Avoid screaming bright red tones: the totem animal is afraid of fire, so he will not like your choice.
For a New Year's Eve costume party, choose the appropriate outfit. Rent a ball gown, a fairytale character costume, or create a festive look on your own.
An interesting option is to order the same T-shirts for the New Year for all family members. You can put funny inscriptions on each product: "The most beautiful mother in the world", "Strict but fair dad", "Tomboy # 1", "Grandfather is a walking encyclopedia", etc.
If you do not want to dress up in luxurious dresses and suits at home, arrange a pajama party. Buy the same pajamas for everyone at the party and spend it in a cozy atmosphere. After all, it so often happens that a woman is busy cleaning and preparing holiday dishes all day on December 31, that by the evening she no longer has the desire and strength to put herself in order. And men will gladly take off their annoying shirts and change into comfortable pajamas. And the kids will all the more support the idea of a pajama party with their families.
You can also buy the same sweatshirts and arrange a New Year's photo session. Holiday family photos will remind you of the pleasant moments when dad, mom, children, grandparents and other relatives came together to celebrate the New Year.
Recommendations for families with children
With the advent of a child, couples often spend their holidays at home. But it is the kids with their spontaneity and faith in New Year's miracles that make this holiday magical. Parents remember the existence of Santa Claus, come up with interesting entertainment, together with the children they are looking for gif.webpts under the Christmas tree. To make the holiday unforgettable, adults need to start preparing it in advance.
What parents need to know when preparing a New Year's party with children:
- Write a script for the celebration in advance. Be sure to ask your child for advice that he will be interested in what he would like to do on New Year's Eve. Do not impose your opinion, because children are also family members, and their wishes should be taken into account.
- Invite relatives and friends that the children know well. It's good if other kids are present at the party.
- Create a holiday menu with dishes that are not only suitable for adults. Check with the invited families in advance which foods their little ones prefer and which ones are better off the list.
- Create fun games and contests for kids and adults. Consider the fact that babies do not like to sit still for a long time and are almost always in motion.
- Take care of prizes and gif.webpts - kids will be happy to receive small toys and sweets for participating in contests.
- Think about New Year's outfits for toddlers. If there is a costume party, talk with the children about who they want to be at New Year's Eve.
- For the New Year, Santa Claus must come with the Snow Maiden. Some of the relatives can play this role, or if you are afraid that the kids will recognize Uncle Tolya and Aunt Sveta, book a visit from fairytale heroes at a holiday agency.
Write a letter to Santa Claus with the children in advance, decorate the Christmas tree together, hang garlands. Let the kids help to set the festive table. They will be happy to make funny mice out of cheese, boiled eggs, circles of radish, olives and greens, which will become a decoration of the New Year's table.
Surely you have your own family traditions that children like so much, for example:
- When the whole family gathers at the festive table, everyone says compliments and wishes to each other for the next year.
- Before the New Year, Christmas tree decorations are made from scrap materials. You can collect a whole collection of homemade balls, which will then go to the grown children, like a family heirloom.
- A week before the holiday, dad and the children go to fetch a Christmas tree, and then the whole family dresses up the forest beauty and always sings a New Year's song.
- On December 1, a calendar with windows is hung on the refrigerator. Every day the child opens one window, where a sweet surprise and a task awaits him, for example, learn a rhyme for Santa Claus or make a New Year's craft.
- Every year, a festive photo session is arranged near the Christmas tree.
- After a Christmas tree appears in the house, a garland is lit in the morning, and the kids find a small New Year's Eve surprise under it.
New Year's Scenario
We offer a family New Year scenario for all ages, which is easy to organize at home. To make the holiday fun, announce in advance that a costume party is in store for your guests. You don't have to come up with a specific theme and give the opportunity to show imagination when choosing a costume. Guests will be able to dress up with fairy-tale characters, a snowman, Santa Claus with a Snow Maiden, a funny Rat, snowflakes, bunnies.
In case one of the guests forgets about the party format, prepare masquerade masks, several costumes and tinsel.
You can arrange a funny lottery in which the costumes are played. Everyone will have a lot of fun when the strict dad wins the snowflake costume, and the grandfather transforms into the Snow Maiden. Write the names of the characters on small cards and hang them on the tree. Each family member and guest choose a postcard and dress up as the character indicated on it.
The New Year's program begins with seeing off the outgoing year. Family members get together and remember what significant events happened to them in 2019. You can offer the following game: a poem is read, and the one who recognized himself in it shouts loudly: "About me!":
He now has his own house,
He lives with his whole family in it.
The family is very happy
Who am I about?
Everything in the house is now upside down,
Who visited the hospital?
Who doesn't sleep at night?
Who became the best mom?
Who went to first grade?
Who is the first grader now?
Speak without melting
Who am I about?
Who invited to the wedding
Tasty cake?
Who has a family now?
Who am I about?
Dad:
Here are how many remarkable events happened in the past year. Let's thank this year for all the good things that have happened to us, and raise our glasses so that the coming one will be just as rich and bring us only happiness.
Then it's time for the New Year's quiz. Questions may be related to the symbol of 2020:

The chimes are chiming, everyone is raising their glasses, making toasts, and then looking for gif.webpts under the Christmas tree. You can hang small personalized notes on a tree, which are exchanged for gif.webpts from Santa Claus's bag.
Make funny New Year predictions. To do this, write on small pieces of paper what awaits each guest in the coming year. Unfold the candy, put the fortune in the wrapper, and wrap it back. Everyone present at the holiday takes one candy out of the bag, unfolds it and reads what will happen to him in 2020.

Finish New Year's Eve at home: dance, enjoy delicious food and drinks, socialize, because so rarely do you get the opportunity to get together with a large family and have fun together.
Contests for the New Year 2020
Interesting ideas:
- "Guess the melody". We include an excerpt from a famous film, and the guests have to guess the name, where this music comes from. The guesser who guessed it goes to the "dance floor". When all the winners gather in the middle of the room, we hand each a surprise, and then arrange a dance break.
- “The most elegant Christmas tree”. This competition will appeal to both children and adults. Each participant is given a Christmas tree template made of white paper, pencils, paints, stickers, glitter. It is necessary to "decorate" the tree by connecting imagination and creativity. Whoever copes faster gets a prize.
- “Who has the most beautiful tree”. The guests are divided into two teams. In each, a person is selected who will be the "tree". It needs to be dressed up with unbreakable toys, tinsel, rain. When both "Christmas trees" are decorated, you can start dancing in circles. The competition will cheer up the guests, who will have a lot of fun when they decorate a live Christmas tree.
- "Magic box".The presenter brings a box into the room, pre-pasted over with gif.webpt paper, shiny stars, snowflakes. The presenter makes a riddle of what lies in the box. For example: “Here is what the girl dropped into the river” (ball). If only adults participate in the competition, you can come up with more complex tasks. “They hear toasts when guests come” (glasses).
- "New Year's show". A creative competition that will keep guests occupied for a long time and give them the opportunity to show their talents. Several people can create their own group and perform in karaoke. Any concert numbers are welcome: dances, scenes, songs, New Year's poems. The most creative performers receive gif.webpts, and sweet prizes are handed out to all participants.
Contests for the New Year 2020 should be fun, active, so that adults and children can take part in them.
Quest for the New Year
After the chimes are struck, the guests will raise their glasses of champagne and taste the New Year's dishes from the festive table, the presenter announces: “Santa Claus prepared gif.webpts for you, but hid them in a safe place so that evil wizards would not find them. I invite everyone present to go in search of surprises! "
Further sequence of actions:
- Participants are given a box filled with paper streamers and confetti. Inside there is a note with a riddle: "Four ears, two abdomens - what is it?" Answer: Pillow. Another message is hidden among the decorative pillows on the sofa.
- We choose one children's book about the New Year. We encrypt the hint word using numbers that will mean a page, a row and a letter. You can also use the Vigenère cipher, for example, 31913191. Participants thus add all the letters from the book or solve the encryption, and the word "Vaza" is obtained.
- At the bottom of the vase lies another message: “Now it's time to eat, my friend. Eat a pie soon! " The guests find a pie on a plate with a note inside.
- On a sheet of paper, letters are written at random. When the players add them up, the word "Oven" is obtained. Another envelope with a hint is hidden in the oven.
- In the envelope there is a piece of paper with a riddle: “In a fairy tale he can fly, at home he can become a decoration” (carpet).
- Under the carpet in one of the rooms, the participants find the message: “Round like a watermelon. But not sweet in taste. It rises easily, flies away high ”(balloon). You can inflate several balloons and hide them, for example, behind curtains. One of them will contain a note with a hint.
- The text of the next message: “You are already close to the goal. Look in the highest place in the apartment. " The next envelope awaits the participants on the mezzanine.
- The envelope contains a New Year's card on which it is written: "You will receive your prize only when you see the needles." Participants go to the tree, and under it they find a large gif.webpt box with surprises. If there are several Christmas trees in the house, hide the prize under the tree, for example, in the children's room, to make it harder to find.
You can add puzzles, virtual messages, puzzles to the quest, which you need to collect in order to get the next hint. The main thing is that the game captivates all participants and does not get bored too quickly.
Prizes and gif.webpts
Be sure to prepare presents for all family members. According to tradition, they can be put under the Christmas tree or in the bag of Santa Claus, who will come to visit in the middle of the holiday.
