Another option for celebrating the New Year alone is a fragrant bath. Fill it with warm water using foam, add a few drops of your favorite aroma oil, place a bottle of champagne next to it and enjoy complete relaxation. In order not to miss the chimes, turn on the TV loudly in one of the rooms or bring a device with the Internet. Then relax completely and remember to make a wish.
Virtual New Year
You can also celebrate the New Year on the Internet, where there are hundreds of different forums where people sit who also decided to celebrate with virtual acquaintances. You can use Skype to call family and friends who could not keep you company in reality. Also, New Year's Eve provides a great chance to buy goods in online stores with huge discounts, because many sites offer them at this particular time.
Even if you are not a fan of online games, you can register in one of them shortly before the New Year and look around in virtual reality. A lot of people celebrate this holiday in games - there is virtual drinking and virtual dancing until the morning, as well as exciting battles with monsters!
Virtual friends to keep you company
How can a lonely girl or young man not be bored to celebrate the coming New Year? Modern technologies allow you to make new acquaintances without even leaving home. If you are lonely on New Year's Eve, there is always someone on the Internet who will keep you company for communication.
The Internet is full of communities of “interests” and many of those who have no one to celebrate the New Year with will hang out on forums and social networks all night. There is a high probability that among them there will be people close to you in spirit, communication with whom online will be very pleasant.
If you are a fan of online games, participating in battles with monsters, military battles or a virtual party will also help brighten up your leisure time. Register in the game in advance and you will definitely not be bored on the festive night!

And on the road again...
If you don’t want to sit within the familiar walls of your own home, then go on a New Year’s tour. There, no one watches you alone or with someone else. Positively minded people usually go on such trips and will be happy to take you into the company. In addition, there is an opportunity to see a lot of interesting things.
If you are a risky and fearless person, then buy yourself a ticket for the night train. New Year on wheels will bring some romance and surprise to life, and fellow travelers will definitely keep you company and turn into friends.
Why is that?
According to statistics, every twentieth resident of Russia celebrates the New Year alone. As a rule, this is not a conscious choice, but is the result of a certain set of circumstances. Some of the most common reasons include the following:
- professional workload;
- quarrels and separations with loved ones;
- moving to a new place;
- business trips.
What to do if you have no one to celebrate the most important holiday of the year with? The first thing you need to do is think and try to figure out whether you even need company. Yes, there are few such people, but sometimes they occur: their best friends are themselves. If you belong to this original minority, you can give yourself a gift by celebrating the New Year not just alone, but also according to your own rules, in other words, ignoring generally accepted standards.
But, if you prefer company, you should think about whether your loneliness is real? After all, if you have no one to celebrate the New Year with, this does not mean that you are alone. Very often it turns out that your loved ones simply could not keep you company and your loneliness is nothing more than an illusion.
In addition, it is not necessary that someone closest to you be nearby. If you take a closer look at your surroundings, it may turn out (and probably will turn out) that there is someone who will be happy to keep you company. After all, it would be a shame to celebrate alone when someone you know is also struggling with the realization that they are also alone. In any case, it would be useful to familiarize yourself with a number of recommendations on how to celebrate the New Year alone.

New Year is celebrated here with cheerful parties with traditional treats and dancing until the morning.
- St. Julian's in Malta If you want to rock until the morning, there is no more delightful place than the famous Axis Main. This club is one of the best in Europe. Thousands of people gather here and enjoy wonderful parties with light shows, dance performances and performances by professional pop singers.
- London. If you are celebrating the New Year alone in the capital of Great Britain, hurry to Westminster Pier by seven o'clock in the evening. From here, a passenger liner departs for a five-hour cruise along the Thames, where you are provided with a pleasant company of international fellow travelers, as well as dinner with champagne, wine and musical accompaniment. Route: through the whole city to Greenwich and back. All the main attractions of London will appear for your viewing, including the majestic Church of St. Paul, the Oxo Tower, the famous Tower Bridge and others.

Fantastic fireworks, a torchlight parade, a festive procession (all city residents pour out into the street), live performances by musicians and Viking dances in the squares will not leave anyone indifferent. Finding a company here to celebrate the New Year will not be difficult.
A great option for celebrating the New Year alone abroad is a trip to the sea coast. The choice of current offers from tour operators is huge: Thailand, Maldives, Brazil, Malaysia, Dominican Republic and other paradises of our planet. Gentle warm waves, palm trees, white sand... Here you will not only recharge yourself with the energy of the sun until spring, but also become the owner of a magnificent tan, the envy of your work colleagues and acquaintances.
Dress up for yourself (and not as expected)
Let's look on the positive side. If you were left alone on New Year's Eve, it means that you yourself wanted it (and nothing else)! Judge for yourself: you have a unique opportunity to take care of yourself, get some sleep, and the next morning (unlike most) feel great and look fresh. You won’t have to spend long hours preparing your makeup and hair, and instead of an already boring floor-length evening dress, you will be able to choose an outfit in which you will be truly comfortable (read: “What to wear for the New Year if you are tired of dresses: 4 ideas with examples”).
But don’t forget about the holiday atmosphere - experiment with your look and be sure to dress up. Have you ever wanted to try on a tuxedo on your naked body? Or try a purple lipstick shade? On this night you will be able to allow yourself anything: after all, there is a festive occasion, and, luckily for you, there will be no all kinds of critics and hypocrites.
There is also a belief that the New Year should be celebrated in everything new. Why not go shopping on the eve of the holiday?
“Alone” does not mean “alone”
There is no concept of “New Year alone” - we live in a world of new technologies and global networks. If on New Year's Eve your loved ones are far away, and your friends have flown to the islands, then you can always call them or write a message on Facebook. No, we are by no means calling on all single people to sit at the computer or with a smartphone in their hands on New Year’s Day - but still, you shouldn’t isolate yourself within four walls.
If you have a desire to go out, then do not deny yourself this. After the president's ceremonial speech, you can go to a party (an alternative would be a walk around the city center or in your favorite area). Take a phone book and call people with whom you were friends 5-10 years ago. It is quite possible that you will be gladly invited to their holiday table. You can also open the Internet and see which clubs and cafes offer a New Year's entertainment show program.
And if you are not one of those who like to party, pour tea or coffee (or better yet, mulled wine) into a thermos, put on your favorite suit or dress, stock up on firecrackers and sparklers - and go to the city Christmas tree in the park and join the fun crowd. You definitely won’t feel alone among the celebrating people.
Reflect
Start the New Year with a clean slate in the truest sense of the word. Describe all your innermost dreams on a piece of paper, make a wishlist of specific desires and imagine your happy future in the smallest details. Get creative: pack a piece of paper with your wishes in a bright box and be sure to hang it on the New Year tree (we provide a few more ways here: “Working on your dreams: how to dream so that everything comes true”)
And the New Year holidays are a great time for... writing memoirs. Savor the most memorable moments of your life, and also tense up and remember what could decorate the novel of Lev Nikolaevich himself. Maybe this New Year's Eve will be the start of your writing career.
New Year with a pet
No, you shouldn’t knock over stack after stack with your cat. It is much wiser to dress your pet in a festive costume and go out with him for a walk: you will probably be the center of attention, and many will completely forget about the festive tree. A good option is a dog in a Santa Claus costume, combined with a cat in his arms in a Snow Maiden costume.
It’s even better if, in addition to this, you buy some sweets and cakes and simply hand them out to children and passers-by. By the way, this is a great way to meet the girl or man of your dreams. Who knows, maybe such a “lonely” New Year will be the beginning of future happiness for you?
In conclusion, it remains to be reminded that regardless of which option you prefer for yourself, the main thing is not to lose heart and make every effort to ensure that the New Year celebration goes the way you want it and brings maximum positive emotions. There is no doubt that with minimal effort on your part, you can find many more ways to celebrate the New Year in a way that will be pleasant to remember for many years to come.
Enjoy peace of mind
You should always remember the golden rule - “everything that is done is done for the better.” Buy your favorite drink, cook a couple of your favorite dishes (or order delivery from a decent restaurant) and do what you love. Maybe you haven't looked at your stamp collection or sorted through photographs for a long time? Has someone for a long time not picked up a guitar (violin, flute), sat down at the piano (drum kit), painted, or created? Or did you not have time to read the book that your friends recommended and watch the acclaimed film?
In general, the idea of devoting New Year's Eve (and all the remaining holidays) to cinema seems to us one of the best options, because this is a unique opportunity not to miss the long-awaited program and watch all your favorite films. Just imagine: no one will interfere with enjoying your favorite episode, no one will put on Olivier while watching a romantic scene, when you really want to relive the climax of your favorite comedy. Beauty.
If you haven't been on vacation for a long time, why not combine your long-awaited vacation with the New Year holidays? Whether it will be a tropical island or Europe imbued with the Christmas atmosphere is up to you. Many people prefer to explore new countries alone, and if you are one of them, then this New Year’s Eve scenario is just for you.
The New Year alone with yourself does not have to be sad and dull. Only you can take care of the festive mood, so don’t let circumstances ruin the whole holiday!
