New Years is going to look and feel a little different this year. We’re replacing big parties with family gatherings, and extravagant firework displays will be online spectacles vs in-person. Have you figured out how to celebrate this long-time-coming moment?  If you need ideas for your New Year’s Resolution, we can help!

Here are a few ideas to get your planning started so you can welcome the New Year with gusto.

Give the kitchen the night off.

Order something delicious from one of our local restaurants and start the new year with clean dishes. There are so many to choose from we can’t limit our recommendation to just a few. Check out the delicious options on supportsnoco.com.

Light up the night.

Looking for an alternative to fireworks? Light up the night with some candles! Check out Clear Creek Candle, 7 Lakes Gifts and Wind Therapy Candles.

Make some noise!

In lieu of fireworks, ring in the new year the old-fashioned way: by banging together pots and pans. Now might be a good time to treat yourself to a new set from J. Matheson Gifts, Kitchen & Gourmet or The Picnic Pantry. Pro tip: use a wood spoon to avoid dings and dents.

Host a brunch for your bubble.

Start the New Year off on the right note by treating your loved ones to something special for breakfast. We recommend grabbing a cinnamon roll at Maltby Cafe, a breakfast treat from Lombardi’s, or a fresh dozen from either Zuri’s Donutz or Countryside Donuts to share the love.

Too much bubbly? Coffee. Coffee helps.

Having a rough time getting out of bed on Jan. 1? Treat yourself to some amazing coffee. Check out Narrative Coffee, Walnut Street Coffee, Broadway Coffee Co. or Come Take It Coffee for a special roast to get you moving.

Whatever your plans for New Year, be safe, stay healthy and remember to shop local and Support SnoCo.
