Festive New Year’s Eve Party Poppers and Tasty Cocktails

Courtesy of Kayla Kitts

Hi Friends,

Can you believe we’re almost at the start of another year? It feels like only yesterday we was wearing giant New Year’s glasses emblazoned with “2-0-0-0.” over a decade has passed, but we still turn to classic party poppers when we need a fun and chic favor idea. What's best is they’re easy to make and are just as festive on the outside as they are on the inside.

Use recycled gift-wrap tubing and fill with cellophane-wrapped chocolates, homemade treats or small gifts. Decorate with ribbon and colored paper. You can also turn the poppers into a game by numbering each one and then have guests trade the packages Yankee Swap-style. For a bonus, we also have an amazing cocktail recipe perfect for that classic midnight toast.
