The Ultimate Kid-Friendly New Years Party
Hi 🙂 I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! We had a great time with our family!
Now that Christmas is past us its time to focus on New Years. I teamed up with Sam’s Club to throw the ultimate kid-friendly New Years Eve Party. The key to throwing a kid friendly party is timing and activities. Because the kiddos have to hit the hay earlier than grown-ups, we started our party just before 5pm.
Here’s all the goodies I had for the kids…
We had party blowers, party hats, glow wands, and our coffee table was turned into a coloring station. I covered the entire table with coloring paper and the kids colored away 🙂
Two separate beverage bars were set up.
Kiddie Bar:
Adult Bar:
On the menu:
Love this new hummus that Sabra makes!
I never get tired of fondue. This was a big hit at the party!
This brie was a favorite! The caramel, apple, & cranberry flavors were amazing!
The kiddos loved these fruit kabobs! There wasn’t a single one left 🙂
After we ate and played, it was time to countdown to the New Year.
They obviously had zero fun 😉
Each kid got to take home a glow wand, a party blower, and of course those super cute party hats.
As you can see… everyone had so much fun!

What are your plans for New Years Eve? Are you hosting a party, going to a party, or staying in?
This was so fun!
Cutest ideas! 🙂
This is SO freaking cute girl!!
I love how you put marshmallows on the fruit kabobs! I made fruit kabobs often, but never thought of adding marshmallows, cute idea!
Great ideas for sure!
SO fun! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
Adorable! And sparkling cider or grape juice is a must. That was a major highlight of New Year’s when I was a kid.
What a wonderful party!
Not sure on plans yet but hopefully staying in 🙂
I love this! I really like that it is focused around kids!
I love the fruit kabobs! Very festive.
