New Year Beer
For beer enthusiasts - not the type who like to drink a large quantity of "lesser" beers, but who enjoy savoring a fine brew - the holidays are a good time to slow down and pick out some new options to find your "new favorite beer." If you live near a store that allows you to mix and match beers, i.e. - to create your own six pack - this is a great place to start with sampling new beers. If not, you'll have to try them a six pack at a time, but there's nothing wrong with that either!
One of the reasons that holidays are such a great time to try new beers is that special seasonal beers typically begin coming out in the fall and then continue all the way through the winter season. These tend to be richer, more full-bodied beers than the special beers that are released in spring and summer. The other reason, of course, is that the holiday season, beginning in November and not truly ending until the New Year has dawned, is a good time to celebrate and to relax.
Here are a collection of beers that could suit your tastes if you are a beer lover, as well as some notes about each:

New Year Clothes
It's the last day of the year and within a minute, you will enter a whole new year, full of excitement and adventurous. To celebrate this end and a new beginning, you are attending the biggest party of the year. You want to stand out in the crowd, but considering that it is the month end, the finances aren't favoring the same. Well, let me assure you that there are a plethora of cheap New Year's Eve dresses, if you aren't willing to spend. The first step towards deciding New Year's Eve dresses, is to know the look you want and figure out what the dress code is (that is, if at all there is a dress code). If you can't get the picture of what you want to wear, at least decide the color scheme of your clothes. And believe me, if you want to be outstanding, you don't need to stick to the color of the season, as everybody will be wearing that. Read more on New Years Day.
New Year Chocolate
Dark chocolate in its purest form is supposed to be the most loved chocolate varieties of all times. Chocolate truffles or dark chocolate shells and conchs often make it to the gourmet chocolate gift basket must-haves. Gourmet milk chocolates are also a favorite, but you need to make sure that the recipient is fond of milk chocolate. In case you don't know the person too well, it is always advisable to gift a combination of dark chocolate and white chocolate. Hardcore chocoholics often frown upon white chocolate and white chocolate lovers might not always jump on dark chocolate, hence it would be wise for you to have a combination of dark and white chocolate instead of sticking to a single variety.
There exist several variations as far as the sugar content is concerned. You can find sweetened and unsweetened varieties or even semi sweet and bittersweet types of chocolates. There also exists a variety termed as couverture which refers to the chocolates that are rich in cocoa butter and this variety is often included in the list of gourmet chocolates. In addition to this liquor chocolates are also a popular variant of usual chocolates that are quite popular items in the gourmet chocolate gift baskets. Gourmet chocolate items often use several sprinkles or dips of materials like dried coconut, powdered sugar, crushed nuts, or even crisped rice.

New Year Ice Cream
Inventions, especially of the distant past, are very peculiar, as there is always a scope of doubt about the man behind the ingenious idea. Who invented ice cream is yet another mystery where it is difficult to say, in black and white, who was its inventor. Many countries, towns, provinces and people lay their claim to the glory of making ice cream possible. If we try to trace the history of ice cream, then we arrive at some interesting ice cream facts. What follows is a collection of such facts about ice cream that you will surely like to go through with a vanilla cone in hand.
New Year Drinks
Other than love and life, any other subject which has managed to make a mark on people's mind - especially those creative minds, is perhaps alcohol. The long list of literary works revolving around this subject speaks in volumes about the same. Its highly unlikely that you must have never come across quotes on drinking alcohol, but have you even come across funny quotes and sayings about the same. Yes there is lighter side to everything, and humorous drinking quotes and sayings represent the lighter side of drinking alcohol.
New Year Lights
December 31st is the day we celebrate New Year's Eve, but that wasn't always the calendar day it was celebrated in years past.

We celebrate one day in honor of the New Year arriving, but the Babylonians' celebration lasted for eleven days! Even though our special events and parties probably pale in comparison to the Babylonian celebrations, your New Year's Eve party can be sparkling, beautiful, and memorable when you decorate with lights.

New Year Wedding Ideas
As the best night of the entire year for parties, New Year's Eve is a fabulous time to host a wedding. You can be sure that everyone will be dressed to the nines and ready to gave a great time! Thank your guests for coming to your wedding with one of these great ideas for New Year's Eve wedding favors.
Champagne is a popular part of many New Year's Eve celebrations, and it would be a great idea for a wedding favor. It would be a very swanky favor for a black tie wedding. Small splits of Champagne would be fantastic favors that your guests are sure to love. To make it even more impressive, hang a small strand of crystals around the neck of each bottle (almost like a crystal necklace for the Champagne - how festive!) with a message of thanks from the bride and groom. There are a few variations on this which would work very well, such as substituting sparkling wine or Prosecco for Champagne. A non-alcoholic sparkling cider would be another option, especially if you are likely to have underage guests or tee-totalers at your reception.
