We have updated this New Year’s Eve Party Ideas for Kids post from 2015.
Even though the kids are getting older, I am still not willing to let them stay up until Midnight On New Years Eve because they tend to still wake up super early the next morning anyway. It is like a sleepover, the parents are punished the next day with tired kids.
So if you are planning a family new Years Eve Party for kids why not have it a little earlier and celebrate at “midnight” at 8 or 9 pm instead. I thought I would share some fun & special New Year Eve Party Ideas for Kids.
