We had so much fun last year with the kids on New Year's Eve that we decided to do it again! Our daughter is in 2nd grade and is learning to tell time, so I decided to use analog clocks this year for the bags.
Last year we started the first bag at 4 pm because coming up with 8 ideas for bags is plenty!
4 pm - New Year's Printables
There are so many options out there but this year I picked ones from Oh Rubbish Blog.
5 pm - New Year's Hats
Use the numbers for the year and a strip of paper (or two) to create a headband style hat for the kids to wear.
6 pm - Reflection Questions
I found these cute questions from Artsy Fartsy Mama and decided to print them out and put them in a bag.
7 pm - Game Time!
We have SO many board games in our house including some new ones we got for Christmas, so we let the kids each pick 1-2 games that we could play as a family.
8 pm - Popcorn and Hot Chocolate
This is always a favorite, so even though it was on last year's list we decided to do it again this year!
9 pm - 2022 in review
We also did this last year, but it is fun to see how their answers have changed in a year
10 pm - New Year's Poppers
I found some cheap ones at Walmart this year, but also found this DIY version using toilet paper rolls from Honey and Lime.
11 pm - Sparkling Juice Toast
This year we picked up a bottle of sparkling juice and some plastic flutes from The Dollar Tree for the kids to do a toast at midnight.

From my family to yours, we wish you a year of full of happiness!
