Forget about the 12 days of merriment, y’all – we’ve only got three days before Christmas arrives. And you know what that means: New Year’s Eve is quickly approaching, too.
December 31 represents so many things – a time to put on sequins and dance through the night, go out with friends and toast to the end of a great year, the chance to make yet another holiday-themed film with a star-studded cast, or perhaps finally lay a kiss on that guy or girl at midnight you’ve been crushing on all year month long.
Whatever your NYE style, we’ve put together a fantastic guide to ringing in the new year in style. Dancing? Check. Buffets? Drinks and live music? Check, check.
