That was a very interesting post. In Germany everyone also let’s off fireworks when the clock strikes midnight to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, normally a toast is also made to the New Year with champagne or sparkling wine.
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like how we do it in Canada too!
So neat learning about these different celebrations. New Years is always a fun time! I love the idea of these milk shots too!
My pleasure!
These days I have a nice dinner and ring in the new year quietly or with a few close friends.
Just add a glass of champagne:)
These sound like some fun New Year Celebrations. I am a home body so I enjoy watching the celebrations on TV and celebrating with my family.

Interesting article. Love the idea of cleaning your whole house before the new year, starting out fresh .These shots sound amazing too . They would be good for Christmas as well just replace the sprinkles with green and red.
Thank you! Yes, you can change the sprinkles to match any holiday!
Very nice, a good creative beverage to end off the year and into the next. I haven’t heard of this before.. very cool!

With four kids in our family, my hubby and I prefer to stay home on New Year’s Eve. We always have Montreal bagels 🥯, lox, cream cheese, capers and red onions as our special supper as we watch the ball drop.
Looks like a delicious appetizer!
I was really interesting reading how the different countries celebrate New Years.
They sound interesting but I’d more likely to have the grapes for good luck on New Year’s!
Like spiced rum, will try this
We had it again last evening and it’s so good!
