“Discover the Secrets Behind 14 Enchanting New Year’s Traditions That Will Transform Your Celebration!”
Spice it up by going Russian style—write the wishes on a piece of paper, burn it, and throw the ashes into your champagne glass. Drink it before the first 12 seconds of the new year elapse. You’ll spend the rest of the year hopeful as you wait for your wishes to be granted, and they just might be.
12. Break a Plate for Good Luck
Channel some New Year’s energy with a tradition inspired by Danish culture: breaking plates! In Denmark, people smash old dishes against friends’ and family members’ doors as a symbol of affection and good fortune.
Gather a stack of unused or chipped plates and smash them safely in a designated area at the stroke of midnight. Each broken plate represents leaving behind negative energy and welcoming good luck and fresh opportunities. You will feel way better afterward– the act of breaking plates is cathartic, allowing you to physically let go of the past year’s frustrations.
13. Walk Around With an Empty Suitcase
Ready to invite a year full of adventure and travel? Try the Colombian tradition of walking around with an empty suitcase at midnight. The idea is to symbolize your desire for exciting journeys in the year ahead.
Grab a suitcase, head outside (or around your home if stepping out isn’t practical), and take a few laps with it as the New Year begins. What a fun, symbolic way to manifest wanderlust and exploration.
14. Toss It Out the Window
Channel some bold energy by tossing out symbolic clutter at midnight—a tradition inspired by Italy and Latin America. Old papers, clothes, or anything tied to past negativity gets the boot (or window). It’s a literal out-with-the-old ritual that feels as liberating as it sounds.
