New Year

The holidays have already begun, but there is still no corresponding mood? We offer you a checklist of four steps, which will allow you to quickly tune in to the New Year mood.

Step #1 – Decorate your home

Even one garland will help create a festive atmosphere. And if you add other attributes to it, your house will truly become New Year's. What we propose to do:

1. Set up a Christmas tree and decorate it to your liking. You can use both "trend" glass balls (for example, the color of 2022 is recognized as Very Peri), and your favorite jewelry that has been stored in your family for years.
2. Attach the garland to a wall or window and turn it on as soon as it gets dark.
3. Hang holiday decorations you like on furniture, doors, and other furnishings.
4. Attach silicone stickers with images of Santa Claus and other characters to the mirrors or windows. After the holidays, you can take them off and save for the next year.

All this can be complemented with festive aromas. For example, high-quality essential oils of orange, cinnamon, ginger, and coniferous trees, which are launched in an aroma diffuser or aroma lamp.

Step #2 – Create a Music Playlist

Did you know that music can influence your mood? If you love listening to it, you just need a festive playlist that will help create a joyful atmosphere in the morning. Here are some compositions and musical styles that are associated with the spirit of the holiday:

Step #3 – Watch Christmas movies

Everybody has their own traditional films, which they revise every year during the New Year holidays. But if you want something new, we offer a selection of atmospheric films from 2020-2021.

New Year

Buy something tasty and enjoy watching movies with friends, loved ones, or alone, and immerse yourself in the Christmas atmosphere. Self-made mulled wine (based on wine or grape juice) or hot chocolate with marshmallows will help to add mood. If you love to cook, bake Christmas cookies, gingerbread (you can have fun painting them with icing), or a muffin (for example, the traditional German Stollen).

Step #4 – Arrange an entertainment program

New Year's holidays are the perfect time to attend interesting master classes and holiday fairs. We have collected a selection of 12 bright locations in Ukraine and Europe in this article.

Sign up for a workshop on cooking unusual or traditional food, creating Christmas decorations and wreaths, or learning to skate with confidence. Also, on the eve of the holidays, many entertainment programs are held in cities, from theatrical performances and concerts to thematic excursions and quests.

And if you want to try skiing – you don't have to go to the mountains – you can visit Protasiv Yar in Kyiv, where there is a ski track.

Make your choice and enjoy the winter holidays.
