Nothing beats ushering into the new year with your loved one. It might seem boring, but it’s not, especially when quality time is a love language in your relationship. Focus on each other, talk about your plans for the new year and make the celebration all about you. It’s actually a better option than having to dress up and go out in the cold. Pop that bottle of champagne, enjoy a quality dinner in the comfort of your home and let the night do the rest.

If you’d rather spend new year’s eve outdoors, splurging at your favorite restaurant is a good option. Make a reservation at that fancy restaurant you’ve been waiting for a special occasion to visit. Splurge on a nice bottle of wine and sip with an elaborate main course. Make sure to save room for dessert. You can as well make this a New Year’s Eve tradition.

Tell me what’s more romantic than sharing a kiss with your loved one at the stroke of midnight. Plan out this special moment by selecting where you want to share your midnight kiss. Step things up by creating a countdown kiss photo to document this moment. Get a photographer to capture this moment (okay, a photographer is a little bit extra) or do so yourself. You never know, photos like this could help when you are going through bad times.

The eve of a new year is the perfect time to reflect and plan ahead. The first time you discuss goals together, setting what you hope to attain in the upcoming year, it may feel hard or just plain weird. Setting goals together for the new year is a new level of intimacy with the one you love. Sip some wine and talk about your goals, how you plan to achieve them, and actionable ways to hold each other accountable.

Take the long weekend and escape the hustle and bustle. A romantic escape – just the two of you – is just the way to ring in the New Year. Jet off to that place you’ve always wanted to visit, a romantic beach or an island. If you are on a tight budget, taking a short trip to the nearest city might be a good option too. Odds are there’s a fancy resort or Airbnb nearby that’s been calling your name. Just get away and have a change of scenery. This is another one of our favorite New Year’s Eve traditions for couples.

Light up the candles and sprinkle rose petals on the floor. Don’t forget to pour some wine while at it, with your favorite music on.
