Although 2020 is coming to a close, it’s more important than ever to continue being vigilant about COVID-19 safety practices like social distancing, wearing face masks, and limiting person to person contact as much as possible. The Centers for Disease Control recently announced their official holiday guidelines<\/a>, with the main theme being that individuals should limit their gatherings to include direct households only in order to lower the risk of COVID-19 spread. That means your New Year’s Eve plans should include staying at home. But that doesn’t mean your New Year’s Eve plans have to be boring! There are so many fun and creative ways to mark the end of 2020 at home. Enjoy some of these new traditions. 1 Dress up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no year like this year to start a new tradition. Since you’ll be staying awake through midnight, you’ll want enough snacks and bites to graze on for the entire night. You can even make things interesting and host an appetizer cook-off between everyone in your household. Each person makes their own appetizer to share and then you crown one person the reigning winner…until next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
