Celebrate the New Year right with your date by planning a fun-filled evening at home chock-full of events to keep you entertained ’til midnight. Play irresistible board games like Scrabble, Jenga, or Cranium, bake decadent desserts such as cookies or danishes, and last but not least, curl up together to watch the ball drop with a bottle of champagne. If you’re in a long-term relationship, invite yours and your honey’s families over to partake in these events. Not only are these activities enjoyable and romantic, but you will get to know each other’s families in a fun, positive environment.
Playing board games with a date is always thrilling, because it allows a couple to compete with each other in a non-threatening way. Not only are these games amusing, but they are intellectually stimulating, instead of the typical movie date which may cause a duo to be passive. For the ultimate challenge, try playing a trivia game to test your IQ levels. One perk about this date is that one gets to see his or her sweetie’s relatives’ personalities come to life as the competitive juices flow.
Another great way to pass the time on New Year’s Eve is by baking sweets with your other half. Baking with a significant other gives one an opportunity to act silly with him or her, such as by put some cookie dough or icing on one’s partner’s nose just for laughs. It also is a chance to exchange humorous stories with a love interest or for your companion to discover more about you by asking your family to reveal something about yourself. Finally, by baking together, a couple will produce many tasty treats they can enjoy with the happy memories of making them on their minds.
As the night goes on, watch the countdown to midnight at Nathan Phillips Square on the Tube to build up your and your date’s anticipation for the new year. By doing this, one gets to snuggle up with a date and couples get to bond by sharing their resolutions for the New Year. For a traditional touch, serve your date champagne once the clock hits twelve. The stroke of midnight gives couples who haven’t had their first kiss yet the opportunity, and couples that have been together for ages a sweet moment together.
