One of the best parts is that there are many ways to make a wish on this day, which can help you in the upcoming year.
To spice up your New Year's Eve, discover the most memorable traditions and how to make New Year's wishes.
Ash in Champagne is a unique and extravagant way to make a wish on New Year's Eve.
When the chimes strike midnight, write your wish on a piece of paper and burn it over a candle. Mix the ashes with a glass of champagne and drink it before the chimes stop.
This method gives you an adrenaline rush as everything happens very quickly. Therefore, it's best to have a piece of paper and a pencil ready at each plate on the table. And don’t worry, you won’t even taste the ashes!
12 Wishes. Another way to make a wish is to write down 12 wishes on separate pieces of paper. They are usually written down after midnight. Once all 12 wishes are recorded, they should be rolled up and placed under your pillow.
The next morning, without looking, take out one of the rolled papers, and the wish you pull out will be the one that is meant to come true. But there’s a catch!
For the wish to come true, you must go to bed before 3 AM. It is believed that after 3 AM, morning arrives, and the magic of the night fades away.
Bags of Goodies. This is how you can make a wish for material well-being. If you desire financial stability and career growth in the coming year, you should prepare cute little bags.
The number of bags should equal the last two digits of the upcoming year. For example, for the year 2025, you should have 25 bags ready. In each bag, place some treats, such as fruits or candies. When the chimes strike midnight, silently make a wish.
After that, go outside and give the bags to the first strangers you meet. You should sincerely wish them wealth and prosperity in the New Year for your own wishes to come true.
Jumping Wish. This fun way to make a wish is perfect for a large group of friends and family. When midnight arrives, you need to jump as high as you can and make your most cherished wish while in the air.
The key trick is that the wish should be short and sweet to fit into the jump. It may be chaotic, but this method is entertaining!
