Have a Fancy Family New Year’s Eve Dinner at Home

Ask everyone in the family for their favorite dish and print out a menu for the night’s dinner. Have everyone help prepare the dishes during the day. When it is time for dinner, ask everyone to dress up in their fancy clothes and to come to dinner! Dinner time is the perfect opportunity to reflect on the past year and talk to your family about their favorite memories of 2022.
