Spending a day like New Year’s Eve all alone can be daunting. But it’s okay. 2023 has been a tough year for everyone and a lot of people around the world have spent festivals and occasions alone. So, if you will be spending New Year’s Eve alone this year and you’re kinda anxious about it, please know that it can still be a fun day. Here are a few things you can do to make sure you have an awesome New Year’s Eve 2023 by yourself.

1. Fix yourself a nice dinner

If you like cooking, fix yourself your favourite meal this New Year’s Eve. Go over the top with appetisers, side dishes, and a lovely dessert. Good food means a good mood. You can always order in if cooking is not something you enjoy. However, for some people, cooking can be very calming and therapeutic. Try it in 2024, maybe?

Another thing that you can do is make a list of all the movies that came out this year that you wanted to watch but couldn’t. This way, you will have plenty of entertainment for the whole day. If this seems like too much work, you can always binge-watch your favourite series.

Plan a date night with your partner or hang out with your friends on a video call. You can also call home and talk to your family as the clock strikes 12. Connect with the people who make you feel happy!

4. Reflect on the year

2023 has been an exceptionally hard year for everyone. People around the world have lost loved ones and livelihoods, and everyone is just trying to make it through. So, it’s okay if you didn’t achieve what you thought you would. Cut yourself some slack and try to reflect on the year itself. Be grateful for the little things. Write your feelings down. Let it all out and try to start afresh in the morning.

5. Have a drink or two

Pour yourself a large glass of wine. Or better yet, get that vodka, girl. Put on some music and have a shot or two. Let yourself go and dance the night away. Nothing is better than drunk dancing with no judging eyes nearby.

6. Dress up or down, whatever makes you happy

Even if you are not going out and about, it doesn’t mean that you can’t dress up. Wear your favourite black dress, do an epic smokey eye, wear that gorgeous red lipstick, and click some pictures for the ‘gram. Make sure you turn the heater on though, we don’t want you to freeze. You can also chill in your sweats with no makeup on and a messy bun. Whatever floats your boat.

7. Get off social media

It is very important to disconnect from social media if you want to stay happy this New Year’s Eve. I am not kidding, FOMO is a real thing. So, avoid any negativity on social media. Switch off your phone (or just turn off notifications) and be happy in your zone.
