How to celebrate New Year in COVID times

by Ahana Gandhi

1. Virtual get together

This one may seem obvious but this year a lot of people were not able to meet with friends and family even for the holidays. So why not say goodbye (or good riddance) to 2020 with your loved ones. Here are a few ideas to entertain:

Magic Show

Escape Room

Bingo

Play online Games

2. Watch the virtual New Year’s Eve Ball Drop at the Times Square.

If you have never gotten the chance to go to NYC for the new year here is your great opportunity. This year the New Year’s Eve ball drop at Time Square will be held virtually and watching it is completely free. Here is the Ball drop link

3. Have a family game night

If you rather spend quality time with your family then bring out your family favourite board game or a challenging lego set for some family fun time.

4. Watch a movie

Sit back, grab some popcorn and watch a movie with your friends and family. Netflix Teleparty, Amazon Prime video watch party and Disney Group watch features can now be used to host a virtual movie party. What a wonderful way to end the year, a movie with your friends!

5. Virtual Travel Tours

For those who love travelling, 2020 has been especially hard with all the travel restrictions. However, many companies are now offering guided virtual tours to popular tourist destinations and hidden local gems. The world is just a click away, literally! So go ahead book a virtual tour of someplace new, somewhere far to ring in a brand new year.
