What do you usually do for New Years Eve? We are home, or at my Aunty’s house, but we would love to go to any of these five fab places to be on New Years Eve. How about you?
- Times Square, New York. We have never been to New York, but MeeMee stayed there when Mummy was pregnant with me, nearly four years ago. She said Times Square is amazing – and it certainly looks like it on the TV. Mummy would love to be here one New Years Eve, just to experience it.
- London. We watch London every year on the TV – the London Eye all lit up, Big Ben chiming and the fireworks. Now that I have been on the London Eye earlier this year and seen Big Ben, I would love to be there with my family. It looks very busy though, and I guess we would have to be there very early to get a good spot. Mummy always wonders what happens if any of us need the loo?!
- Edinburgh. The Hogmanay festival sounds incredible and is now on for three days! How great to go there for a mini break.
- Looe in Cornwall. One of Englands best free New Years Eve parties – the whole of Looe dresses up in fancy dress and parties around the town in pubs, clubs and restaurants. For us little ones there are fireworks on the seafront at 6pm and then, if we are still awake, we can see in the new year on East Looe seafront with another spectacular firework display at midnight.
- Tenby Pembrokeshire. The only one on our list that Mummy has been to – MeeMee too. Lea is planning on being there this New Years Eve too. Next Year, Mummy is hoping to stay in Tenby for the night so she can take me into Tudor Square for the first time. The town all meets up and fills the main square from 11.30pm to welcome in the New Year with fireworks and a giant balloon drop. Entrance to the square is free.
Where are you this New Years Eve? Have you ever been to any of these celebrations?

These are great places to see in the new year. I wondered that too about ringing in the new year in busy London – not enough loos! 🙂 x

These are great places New York is my favorite would love to visit the other places such as London in the hustle and bustle and the english accent I like.

I have always dreamed of being on a private resort on New Year’s Eve. I want to witness the very first sunrise of the year. What an awesome experience it would be to watch that glorious sun rising over the horizon.
December 27, 2015 at 11:33 am
This time last month my folks were standing in Times Square! Not so sure they would like to be there on NYE though! Gets super packed!! They love watching the telly and the fireworks on NYE 🙂 x

Some great suggestions for New Year! I am in Sweden this year – was hoping to celebrate with hubby at a party somewhere nice but looks like we’ll go for dinner instead. Enjoy your New Year x
December 27, 2015 at 1:34 pm
These are wonderful places to be on New Year’s eve and I hope to visit them all one day. My whole family is staying home.

Hogmaney sounds amazing! I like watching London on TV but those crowds would freak me out in person.

I would love to go to New York to see in the new year and London, although I live very close to London I have never been to see in the new year, like you I think of the silly things like needing the loo x

I’d love to spend NY Eve at any of these places. It would be a treat as there is nothing to do in my area for New Years, population 500, 99% rednecks, lol.

December 27, 2015 at 4:24 pm
I love Tenby so I wouldn’t mind going there although I question how much would actually be going on there as its such a small town. In a perfect world, I would be seeing in 2016 in Jamaica 🙂

The one in Looe sounds fabulous – I like free!
We never generally do anything though, just a few drinks at home and a takeaway… Before the diet starts x

I would love to be in Times Square on NYE just once in my life!
December 28, 2015 at 3:16 am
This year we are going to be spending New Year’s eve in Disney world with all of our kids.
It’s going to be insane but a ton of fun!

I’m going to be in church for New Years, as usual. I’ve been to Times Square. I wasn’t really a fan. Freezing cold and with people drinking a lot. Not up to doing it again..
December 28, 2015 at 4:08 am
We will most likely be staying in, but London would be a dream someday.
December 28, 2015 at 5:11 am
I would love to be able to do Times Square, but I would need some serious cash to do it. No way could I stand out on the street for that long!

I love the idea of Times Square on New Year’s Eve, but having been to Times Square at the beginning of Christmas shopping season, I dread to think how busy it would be! I’d love to go somewhere different for new year though… Looe sounds good!
December 28, 2015 at 7:10 am
I don’t feel safe this year. I’m happy to watch on the tv.

But when you have kids, you stay put and bring the fun 🙂
December 28, 2015 at 10:18 am
They all sound great to visit on NYE, I have never done anything apart from seeing friends and family on NYE around peoples houses. I love the sound of the looe one though, thats a beautful place to visit anyway.

I’ve always wanted to spend New years in NY. The idea of being in the middle of it all when the clock hits 12 is pretty magical!
December 28, 2015 at 8:20 pm
I’ve only done London. Don’t think any will happen for a while but I’d love to go to New York for new year
December 28, 2015 at 9:33 pm
I have been in New York and London on NYE, but looking back I wouldn’t do it again. Too many people! This year I am spending it with my family in Germany, less stress and I can fall directly into my warm bed.
Happy New Year!

I’ve never been to New York City before on New Year’s Eve! I’ll be at home with my hubby and family ringing in the New Year!

My hubbie will be in Times Square, He films the Ball drop every year. Which makes me stay home in my pj’s with my youngest and just relax. Happy New Year!
December 29, 2015 at 5:06 am
We usually check out the New York countdown but we have done New Years in Toronto too and that was lots of fun! Not sure what we’re going to do this year yet!
December 29, 2015 at 8:49 am
These would all be fab places to be on NYE. I’ve been to New York twice and it’s my fave place ever so that would be top of my list xx

I personally love to be home on New Years. But perhaps that’s because I have little ones and dragging them out in the crowds just isn’t that fun right now! 😉 I’d love to visit Times Square some day though!
