It is believed that the person who gets a piece of the coin will have good luck in the coming year.
Prepare holiday drinks and mocktails. All children love hot cocoa, soft drinks and fruit juice. You can also make other smoothies with strawberries and kiwis, cranberries or peppermint.

Part 3
New Year's EveRemember the past year and make plans for the coming year. Around midnight or any other time, gather together and remember what happened last year to each of you individually and to the whole family. After that, try to formulate plans for next year. You can create a plan for the whole family to hold each other accountable to.
Celebrate the New Year in a different time zone. If there are small children in the family, it will be difficult for them to stay awake until midnight. Try celebrating the New Year in a different time zone. For example, depending on your country of residence, you can celebrate the New Year with the French or Japanese.

Think about what you managed to avoid - long waits for a taxi, drunken quarrels, crazy crowds of people who strive to hug everyone in honor of the New Year!
- Drink alcohol in moderation.

A family dinner, a romantic trip or an unusual adventure - you can celebrate the New Year in different ways, the main thing is that it is truly enjoyable!
We have collected several original ideas on how to celebrate the New Year 2018 in an unusual way, perhaps you will find among them one that is close to you.
How to celebrate New Year 2018 at home in an unusual way
Celebrating the New Year with a home feast is the most traditional decision. However, it can be made not boring at all if you use a little imagination. Let's look at a few ideas.
Theme party
Who said that New Year's table Should there be Olivier and champagne? What if it's sushi and sake? Replace the traditional party with a themed one! This could be the cuisine and culture of a country, your favorite movie or book, or anything else that you and your guests like. There should be themed dishes on the table, and guests should be warned to get creative with their costumes. Entertainment also needs to be matched to the theme: space for imagination and vivid photos from the holiday are guaranteed.
Board games
If you think board games are for kids, it means... you just haven't tried playing them with your friends (or even family!). Even skeptics are quickly drawn into the general fun, and time flies. Select the game according to the composition of the participants:
- traditional (lotto, card games) - for a group of relatives of different ages;
- gambling (poker, roulette) - for friends who are not afraid to take risks;
- funny (“Crocodile”, “Alias”, “Mafia”, etc.) - for almost any company.
Fun photo shoot
These days, at any party, half the time is spent on creating impressive photos for the social networks. So why not get creative with this issue? Collect unusual accessories (for example, wigs, signs with “replicas”, colored glasses, etc.), hang a poster on the wall with an unusual background, stock up on a camera or at least phones and arrange a photo shoot for you and your friends.
pajama party
Another format that both adults and children will appreciate. Instead of a decorous feast - scattered pillows, instead of uncomfortable suits and dresses - cozy pajamas, instead of heavy food - light snacks and drinks.
How to celebrate the New Year outside the home in an original way
If you are tired of celebrating at home, and the most obvious alternative - restaurants and clubs - are scared away by holiday prices, then you can try to find more original places to celebrate the New Year in your city.
New Year in the bathhouse
“Every year on December 31, my friends and I…” - everyone has seen the legendary film about visiting a bathhouse on New Year’s Eve, but in fact, few have tried to bring it to life. You can rent a sauna for a group of friends and combine a festive feast with a steam room and a swimming pool.
New Year on the roof
Another one original idea- Climb onto the roof of a tall building with friends, snacks and drinks. You can grab a small Christmas tree to create festive mood, and, of course, admire the festive fireworks from the most advantageous point.
Active New Year
Why is it necessary to sit at the table at 12 at night? Instead, you can go ice skating, skiing, or going on a winter hike. If you prefer active image life, perhaps this is the New Year you will remember for a long time!
New Year's skating rink - The best way combine the useful with the romantic New Year with good deeds
If the idea of charity is not alien to you, then you can spend New Year's Eve helping those who need it. For example, you can participate in New Year's performance in the hospital or orphanage or give out gifts. Helping your neighbors is a great start to the new year.
How to celebrate the New Year while traveling
New Year's holidays are a great period for travel. By the way, you can also watch the chimes right on the plane: many airlines offer big discounts to those who agree to fly directly on New Year's Eve.
New Year under the palm trees
Some people do not accept the idea of a New Year without snow, while others fly to Thailand or India every year for the holidays. In any case, at least once in your life you should try to escape from the cold into the heat and replace the Christmas tree with a palm tree.
New Year's Eve in a hotel made of snow and ice
The opposite alternative is to celebrate the New Year in a hotel made entirely of snow and ice. For several years now, similar hotels have continued to open in Sweden, Finland, Canada and other northern countries. They are built entirely of snow and ice, the temperature inside is maintained below zero, and people are supposed to sleep in special Arctic sleeping bags. Without a doubt, such an adventure for the New Year will definitely be remembered!
New Year in a new city
You've probably already tried walking around your city on New Year's Eve, why not try it in a new place? You can choose another city in Russia or one of the European capitals, for example, Budapest or Prague. Go for a walk around the city center, congratulate strangers and recharge yourself with that unique atmosphere that always arises in places of mass celebrations.
New Year on the train
Finally, you can celebrate the New Year not at the final point of the route, but directly during the journey. If you find yourself on a train during the chiming clock, you will be amazed at how quickly all your fellow travelers get to know each other and start celebrating together. Many say that this is the New Year that turns out to be the most memorable!
Conclusion
When planning your New Year's celebration, don't limit your imagination! A boring feast can be turned into an unforgettable party, the main thing is to approach the organization creatively and, of course, take into account the tastes of the other guests (and also do not forget about common sense and safety rules, of course). Have a great holiday! With coming!
Prices for travel packages, air tickets and hotels during the New Year holidays are the highest of the year, which is understandable: Russians increasingly prefer to celebrate the New Year abroad. Many took care of their winter vacation in the summer, booking hotels and plane tickets at dumping prices. Nowadays it is quite difficult to find cheap deals, but this is not a reason to refuse traveling for the New Year. The main thing is, do not expect to spend your vacation in the Maldives or the Dominican Republic. Tours to these countries are an expensive pleasure at any time of the year, let alone new year holidays? For those who do not lose hope of celebrating 2014 abroad, we have selected several “budget” countries.
Affordable Baltics
One of the most inexpensive options for celebrating the New Year is the countries of the post-Soviet space, and now members of the European Union: Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. The big advantage of these states is their proximity to the European part of Russia, due to which air tickets can be purchased for little money, and you can get there by train, bus or private car without significant expenses.
It’s better to organize a New Year’s holiday to the Baltics yourself; buying a ticket from a travel agency will cost much more.
The Baltic countries can be reached cheaper and more comfortably by train; the most budget option is Riga, which has been repeatedly called the cheapest city in Europe. Currently, tickets from Moscow to the capital of Latvia can be bought for 2,590 rubles in a reserved seat carriage (it is possible that ticket prices may be higher for the New Year), and a room in a three-star hotel is offered for only 13 thousand rubles for two (7 nights, breakfast food). The historical center of Riga is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, and there really is something to see here - in the old city there are many cultural and architectural monuments and museums. In addition, in 2014 Riga was chosen as one of the European Capitals of Culture.

Train ticket to Vilnius will cost at least 2800 rubles, the cost of a bus ticket is 2000 rubles. Accommodation in a two-star hotel in the city center will cost 10 thousand rubles for two. The capital of Lithuania is distinguished by its compactness and leisurely pace. Before the New Year, holiday fairs open in the center of Vilnius, where you can inexpensively buy unusual gifts.
Concerning Tallinn, train tickets to the capital of Estonia are now offered for 2,900 rubles. Hotels here are somewhat more expensive than in Lithuania and Latvia; on average, renting a room in a three-star hotel for the New Year holidays will cost 18 thousand rubles for two. A must visit in Tallinn Old year, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Here you will find ancient streets, intricate alleys, the famous Tallinn Town Hall, Toompea Castle, Catholic cathedrals and Orthodox churches.
For impressions - to the Czech Republic
Czech For many years now, it has been a place of New Year’s pilgrimage for tourists not only from Russia, but also from all over the world. This time of year Prague decorated with evergreen trees, Christmas tree decorations and other attributes of the New Year, fairs are opened here and there and organized holiday concerts. All this creates the impression of a real New Year's fairy tale.
You can welcome 2014 in one of the many Prague restaurants (fortunately, unlike Russian ones, most of them do not need to be booked six months in advance) or on the Prague Bridge, where hundreds of residents and guests of the city gather annually to watch the festive fireworks and drink champagne.
Air tickets on the route Moscow - Prague and back are now offered at fairly low prices - 14 thousand rubles for a flight with transfers. You can save money if you take a ticket to a regional airport, for example, you can fly to Brno (and back) for only 11,800 rubles on a direct flight.
As for Prague hotels, on average a room will cost 18–20 thousand rubles for two.
Warm New Year
If a holiday in Europe for some reason does not suit you, and your soul requires warmth, you can go south, however, a trip to seaside resorts will cost more than to the Baltics or the Czech Republic. We analyzed New Year's offers from tour operators and selected the most budget-friendly options in warm countries.
The cheapest way to celebrate the New Year is in Egypt - a week-long trip to Hurghada is now offered at a price of 30 thousand rubles for two (four-star hotel, half board). But do not forget that the Russian Foreign Ministry still does not recommend that Russians travel to the country of the pyramids due to the unstable political situation in the state. However, according to local authorities, everything is calm at the resorts.
A good alternative to Egypt are United Arab Emirates, where you can not only, but also successfully spend money during large-scale sales.
