What to Do on New Year's Eve by Anna Miller and Kylie Starren

New Years is always a fun time of year. There are plenty of fun activities you can do to spend time with family and friends.

The annual SCSU New Years Eve Family Fun Fest is happening at 5pm to 10pm. Here you can go ice skating, rock climbing, and eat food. Blow up bouncy houses and arts and crafts are offered for kids, among many activities for all ages.

If ice skating and rock climbing isn't your forte, Lake George is having a firework display. Come and join the fun! Make sure to dress warmly. Hot chocolate will be sold.

If you are a skier, snowboarder or someone who enjoys tubing, Powder Ridge has a New Years Eve discount too. Head out to Kimball on December 31st; there will be live music, a torchlight parade, a bonfire with s’mores and more fireworks.

Now if you're just looking for a good place to eat this New Year’s, head to these restaurants that are offering great deals: Anton's Restaurant, Cafe Renaissance, Kohinoor Bar and Grill, Bello Cucina, Coyote Moon Grill, and House of Pizza. Enjoy one last good meal in 2018.

If you are more of a homebody and enjoy snuggling up to the fire with friends and family then these next activities are for you. Spending time with the ones you love is a great time spent for everyone. Playing games, eating yummy food, and being goofballs with them on New Years is another thing that you could do.

Have a family or friends game night and get competitive playing games like Heads Up, Life, Charades, and Monopoly.

One event many people have watched each year since 1907 is the New York City ball. This ball has dropped in Times Square for a total of 111 times and will drop once again in 2019. You can watch this on tv and see all the musical acts.

You could also do a rewind of all your favorite movies from 2018. Make sure to have a lot of popcorn!

Hosting a New Years Eve party with food, drinks, and games is another fun way to spend this night. Staying at until midnight to see 2018 become 2019 is an invigorating time, with all the people shouting to countdown the seconds to the new year and starting their New Year's resolutions.

The New Year has not even started and the fun has already begun.
