Best New Years Eve 2021 options for SINGLE PEOPLE
1.Watching a few inspiring or uplifting movies
So let’s look at your best home options first. When I was single I really enjoyed watching inspiring movies at home which gives me enthusiasm for diving into the next year.
A few of the top inspirational movies on Netflix are:
- Soul Surfer
- 28 days
- The Fundemantals Of Caring
2. Do a special New Year’s Eve Meditation
Goodbye 2020, hello 2021. Saying a mindful goodbye with a great meditation session can be your best choice. If you want to know how to meditate at home mindfully, then click here.
3.Organize a Mini Film Club with a couple of friends
One thing I loved doing back in Hungary is organizing film clubs with my friends.
In the afternoon we chose a movie, then brought snacks to my home and watched a meaningful movie. After that, we discussed our feelings about the film. Before you organize this mini film club with not more than 2 or 3 friends make sure that it is safe to do COVIDwise. If you are looking for snack ideas then check out top Christmas snacks here.
4. Snack and Karaoke party with a few friends
The Christmas Snacks that are leftover from the Christmas Dinner could be great ingredients for a Special New Year’s Eve karaoke party as well. Just as in the case of the mini film club be aware of the issues regarding the coronavirus. Make sure no one has it!

5.Watch the funniest COMEDIES or STAND-UP shows
Laughing is something I really love doing with people who are very close to me. So watching a very funny movie or a stand-up show are great stay-at-home New Years Eve 2021 ideas with your partner.
My top comedies on Netflix are:
- YESMAN,
- THE DO-OVER,
- MURDER MYSTERY
- and THE HEARTBREAK KID.
As for the stand-ups Dave Chapelle, Ricky Gervais, and Kevin Hart have a few diamonds on Netflix.com.
6.Romantic New Years Eve Dinner
Cooking a New Year’s Eve Dinner is something I would definitely do with a partner. If you really want to have a great culinary experience I definitely recommend checking out Todd Wilbur’s TOP Recipes Book, where all the recipes based on the ideas of the most popular US restaurant chains.
7.GAME NIGHT
Playing a cool game with your partner is so much fun. You might find it strange but I can personally confirm that a Monopoly game is a great start for a flirtatious night.
OUTDOOR OPTIONS regardless your RELATIONSHIP STATUS
There are still a couple of amazing things you can do while being isolated outdoors and both of them are actually related to walking. I still love walking, but when I was single I craved walking.
8. AFTERNOON MOUNTAIN WALK
Back in Hungary, I loved walking in the hills between beautiful family houses on the last afternoon of the year. It gave me high hopes for the new year. If you have mountains or hills in your neighborhood take a long walk there alone or with your partner because it will give you divine and spiritual moments. If you don’t have hills or mountains, but you live in a suburban area then just take a long afternoon walk that lasts at least an hour.
9. BOILED WINE or HOT CHOCOLATE RUM TOUR with a FRIEND
What happens if you live in a city? There are no hills, or nature closeby.
Well, here it comes. Why not take a long walk in the afternoon of the last day of the year with your friend while drinking delicious boiled wine. If you live in Europe then boiled wines are pretty common.
However, if you live in the US, buying a HOT chocolate and spicing it up with a little rum is a wonderful combo.
So this summary hopefully gives all of you great ideas about what to do for New Years Eve 2021.
I wish all of you a great 2021,
Eszter
