If you want to be remembered as the ultimate New Year’s Host, or the party that no one will ever forget, then we strongly advise you keep reading. Whilst you still have Christmas on the brain, it can be easy to forget about your new years celebrations. Is your home bar stocked up and ready? Are you ready to take on this responsibility of the ultimate New Year’s host?

Set the scene

Lay the table with a scene set to impress your guests from the start. This year’s most trendy buffet food style, the charcuterie board, is a party favourite due to its versatility. If you know your soon-to-arrive guests prefer a meaty platter then stock up on cured meats, chutneys and cheeses. Or perhaps they have a sweet tooth? Combine grapes, pineapple, and even sweets on a wintry platter like the Charcuter-Tree Board to satisfy any after-dinner cravings.

Impress with something unique

Create a spectacular centrepiece for your table, but make it practical too. A Pineapple Ice Bucket doubles up as a decoration and a vessel for keeping your ice cubes intact all night long. Stylish and practical - like you.

Consider a mixology masterclass

If your guests are arriving well before the clock strikes 12, you might want to consider some form of liquid entertainment to keep the good vibes going. Get out a Cocktail Master Kit, (this will make you seem like a sure professional). If you want to make things a bit easier, try a pre-mixed cocktail, no, not the canned stuff. Get a tube of Cocktail Mix that you left to infuse the night before in your favourite bottle of tipple, and huzzah! It’s all done for you, strain out over ice in your favourite set of cocktail glasses and prepare for the ‘WOW’s.

Most importantly, have fun, enjoy the night and don't forget to set a timer for midnight in case you forget!
