New Years Eve Party New Year's Eve or Old Year's Night is observed on December 31, the final day of the Gregorian year, the day before New Year's Day. New Year's Eve is a separate observance from the observance of New Year's Day.
New Year's Eve is celebrated universally December 31 according to the year numbering of the CE (Common Era), or AD (Anno Domini) convention, even in non-Christian nations.
Traditional and religious celebrations for e.g. the Muslim and Jewish new year, which occur on different dates, are still celebrated separately in the cultures that observe them, on the appropriate dates each year.In modern practice, fireworks, music, alcoholic beverages and other forms of noise making is part of the New Year's Eve celebration. New Year's Eve is celebrated with parties and social gatherings spanning the transition of the year at midnight.

New Years Eve Party Ideas for Kids
- The Theme - My top choice: “Hollywood Red Carpet!” Nothing like a glamourous night out at the movies full of paparazzi and popcorn to ring in the New Year.
- Decorations – Keep it simple with all black, white and silver. This way if you have extra things left over from Halloween (black) or Christmas you can re-use.
- Dress code – Kids love an excuse to get creative and dress up in their wildest outfits, so keep black & white as the dress code. They will probably come wearing one black shoe & one white, one black sock & one white.
- Treats - You could buy all the typical candy they sell at the concessions stands, Kit Kats, Twix, Twizzlers, and Sour Patch Kids or you could step it up a notch and make some more glamorous sweets.
- Games - Depending on age, choose movies they have most likely seen and print out a movie trivia quiz.
- Crafts - Make the kids decorate the Hollywood sign or a Happy New Year Sign. Cut out large letters and give each child one of the letters to decorate.
- Hollywood Walk of Fame – Have all the children put their hands in white paint and place them on a large piece of black paper and have them sign their name. This will be just as fun at any party as a keepsake of who was there and what year it was.
- Watch a Movie – Set up the living room like a movie theatre with rows of stadium seating.
- The Midnight Count down - Even if the young ones cannot make it until the clock strikes 12, do a countdown on your own.
- Award Ceremony - At the end of the night give awards to everyone who came and what they did great this past year. Best Brother, Best Sister, Best Soccer Player, Best Artist, Best Listener, Best Dancer, Best Pizza Eater etc.
