New Year for two
Romantic New Year for two.
What could be better? Outside the window, snow flakes are silently falling, firewood is quietly crackling in the fireplace, a soft skin spread on the floor exhales warmth and happiness, and in the kitchen there is a pile of dirty dishes left over after preparing culinary delights in the sink, a grease-splattered hob, a slight aroma of burnt food. cakes from the oven... However, all this can be avoided. More precisely, leave only the first part with skins and snow flakes, and omit the domestic thriller with elements of culinary action. So, in order to have a romantic New Year with the least loss for yourself, it is not at all necessary to give up the comfort of home and book a table in a cafe. Although, of course, there is such an option - for the laziest and most unromantic romantics. We will take a completely different path. First, let's decide what is the most important thing in the New Year? Naturally, there is a festive (in our case, romantic) atmosphere, the feeling of which makes the simplest things magical. Achieving its presence in your home is quite simple. We decorate open racks and shelves with decorative candles of different sizes and shapes. A couple of candles in the shape of a cute snowman or an angel with snow-dusted wings wouldn’t hurt either. You can also use glass balls, popular all over the world, filled with water, with wax snowflakes swirling inside them. But know when to stop - the apartment should not resemble a Christmas tree decorations store.
Using ordinary tape, you can decorate the ceiling plinth with several heart-shaped balloons, or decorate it with rain or tinsel. If the walls in your house are painted, then you can apply a New Year’s romantic applique made of self-adhesive colored paper to one of them. New Year is a holiday that we have loved since childhood, so why not be a little boyish and draw something like “Sasha + Masha = Love!” on the wall? and surround the inscription with New Year's snowflakes, or create a whole picture in a free manner, telling about your happy life together and the plans you are making for the New Year? Something in the style of “Lovers” by Marc Chagall or “Love is” chewing gum candy wrappers. It is worth noting that self-adhesive paper can be easily removed from the wall, and the pleasure you will get from joint creativity will be inexhaustible.
As for the Christmas tree, it all depends solely on your preferences. What will it be? Living forest beauty? A big artificial tree from the store? A miniature decorative Christmas tree placed on a coffee table, or branches of a real spruce placed in a vase? It's up to you to decide. The main thing is that your Christmas tree brings joy. Decorate the Christmas tree branches with chocolate candies in a beautiful wrapper, write your wishes to each other and declarations of love on snowflakes cut out of paper, and also hang them on the tree. Every warm word spoken out loud or written on paper, every piece of sweet chocolate are small pieces of one great happiness that you were once able to discern in each other and preserve.
Now let's move on to the New Year's table.
New Year's dinner for two should be light, the kind after which you want not to lounge in front of the TV in an easy chair, but to take a walk through the winter city at night, invite your beloved to dance, or, having bought firecrackers at a stall, salute under the windows of the apartment and, holding hands, Under the cheerful roar of New Year's cannonades, make a cherished wish. I think that heavy, time-consuming dishes should be excluded from the menu completely, creating it from light snacks, salads, fish or chicken dishes that can be prepared in advance easily and quickly, without bothering yourself with standing in front of the stove for many hours and washing a huge amount of dishes. Here are a few dishes that are easy to prepare, but look more than elegant on the holiday table. Salad with tomatoes and cheese
Ingredients: 4 medium tomatoes 2 sweet peppers 250 g cheese ½ cup sour cream or unsweetened yogurt
Preparation: Cut the tomatoes into slices, pepper into strips, add salt and pepper, season with sour cream or yogurt, and the gorgeous salad is ready. By the way, feta cheese can be replaced with Adyghe cheese. This will not make the taste worse; rather, it will take on a softer hue.
Egg balls with cheese
This dish always looks delicious, and even the least seasoned man in the kitchen can prepare it.
Ingredients: 6 eggs 50 g butter 150 g cheese 75 g walnuts dill 3 tbsp. l. mayonnaise
Preparation: Grate hard-boiled eggs, cheese and butter on a fine grater. Add mayonnaise, salt, pepper and mix thoroughly. Roll the resulting mass into small balls, put half a walnut inside each, roll the balls in chopped dill (you can use nut crumbs instead of dill) and put them in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. I think that in one of these balls, instead of a nut, you can put a ring or a small pendant on your neck. I don’t know how practical this is, and how it will affect the girl’s dental health, but it’s undeniably romantic.
Burrito (8 servings)
This simple dish will add some Mexican passion to your relationship. Originally, a burrito was a wheat tortilla in which Mexicans wrapped a filling of meat and onions, seasoned with hot sauce. In our case, the burrito will be healthier and less spicy.
Ingredients: 2 thin pita breads 300 g of boiled or canned mushrooms 1 can of canned corn ½ head of green salad 2-3 tbsp. mayonnaise salt and pepper to taste
Preparation: Cut each pita bread into 4 parts. In each of the “lavash” pieces we will put a filling of mushrooms, corn, chopped lettuce and mayonnaise, and roll up an envelope. The burritos are ready! Note: you can replace canned corn with canned beans, mushrooms with pieces of boiled chicken, and add a little pepper mixture to mayonnaise.
Advice for couples celebrating the New Year together for the first time
This New Year can easily be celebrated only together. You won’t be bored, because you haven’t yet enjoyed each other’s company, and jellied fish won’t seem disgusting, and Maxim Galkin on TV won’t be annoying. Noisy companies of strangers or even close and beloved friends are not exactly unwelcome, but they will still have to act as more of a background for your couple. Many people are generally annoyed by “doves” who are too carried away with each other, and this is not always envy. It’s great to celebrate the first New Year together exclusively in each other’s company, and join friends at another stage of the night (if, of course, you want to, although practice shows that you usually don’t want to).
Where to meet
Regardless of the decision on how to celebrate the New Year together, the owner of the house always bears a serious responsibility: for the table, for decorations and all sorts of New Year's surroundings, for entertaining guests, in a word - for hospitality. In this sense, it’s nice to be a dear guest, that is, to plan to celebrate the holiday at your beloved’s home and, if you take part in the organization, at least not to worry about it or not.
On the other hand, the walls at home also help, and if you feel better and more confident there, feel free to invite you to your place! Purely theoretically, showing yourself as a good housewife is important for a relationship that is not yet strong, although you will have to try. Besides, it’s not entirely decent to ask, and it would be better if you enter his house for the first time when people are already waiting for you there. The safest option, of course, is “neutral waters” - a restaurant, a club, a vacation in Mexico, but these cases also have their own characteristics. In the end, you can’t always run away from your “houses” getting closer together.
How to dress
At first, when we really like someone, we are ready to go out of our way to please, but men in love like us anyway, not necessarily in the best dress. However, through the chosen image you can hint at a lot of things to him and here, be guided by your plans:
- an abundance of expensive jewelry or elements of natural fur, precious stones and silk will tell you that the material side of relationships means a lot to you and the desire to keep everything under control;
- strict colors, black and white contrasting combinations indicate that you lack balance, and a man can use brutality to become a support;
— a “princess” outfit will demonstrate your kindness and gentleness, but may slow down the transition to the erotic part of the program.
What to give
It’s difficult to choose a gift for a man whose character and lifestyle you don’t know well. Some general advice can be given on this matter. You can make a gift from the universal category: those that will be useful to anyone. Men are given alcohol, but, avoiding banality, you need to choose something expensive, high-quality and “masculine”. A connoisseur will appreciate it, and a layman will be pleased by respect, generosity and confirmation of the importance of male status.
If you decide to please a man with something delicious, it will be unique to cook it yourself. You'll have to try and perhaps rehearse the recipe. It is clear that if this is a herring under a fur coat, then it should at least have a “restaurant” appearance. Don't give too expensive gifts, but also avoid simple symbolism. Cute little candles in doll colors, Christmas tree decorations and souvenirs of the animal of the year are suitable as a pleasant addition to the main surprise. Be careful with unusual gifts. Avoid joke shops with knitted iPhone cases and “And they lived happily ever after until they met” T-shirts. The gift should simply correspond to the age and status of the man.
How to behave at the table
It is known that not everyone likes to cook, but here is a whole festive table, with which you also want to surprise the young man! There may be other problems here: you need to limit yourself so as not to gain too much; and what will he think of me if I eat as if I hadn’t been fed all year? Total stress! But still, love and care are most often associated with the fact that your loved one needs to be fed, and a half-empty refrigerator and limp Olivier salad characterize you as a woman who saves on food. Later, when the relationship becomes more trusting and the worries go away, you can replace the steak with a leaf of your favorite salad.
How to have fun
This is a holiday of fun, despite the fact that it is New Year's Eve for two. But usually after the official part with the chimes and the feast, the main fun is watching the “blue lights” on TV. At night, on a full stomach and a not entirely sober head, it couldn’t be more boring—you immediately begin to fall asleep. What can you do about it, considering that you are in the most ideal time of love? Of course, watching movies is the most idealistic of the arts. These are not necessarily melodramas, although men are attracted to such films just at the beginning of a relationship - take advantage of the moment! In addition - New Year and Christmas film masterpieces and simply favorite genres.
A few important "don'ts"
- don't forget about photographs! Not capturing the most pleasant moments on your usual New Year is also a shame, and even more so on your very first;
- do not leave your relatives completely without your company. What is important to you is also important to them, but when lovers fall into feelings, they often fall out of reality. Imagine how nice it will be for them to receive congratulatory text messages not from each individual, but from the two of you, as from a successful couple;
- don’t fall asleep ahead of time. Try to get enough sleep the night before so you don't sleep through one of the best moments of your relationship;
- do not use banal techniques. More creativity and imagination in everything - from food recipes to ways to decorate a Christmas tree.
After the ball
When the question of how to celebrate the New Year together is more or less clear, another always arises - what to do after? It is always unclear when exactly a holiday ends, especially the New Year, which can die of boredom at two in the morning, or can stretch out throughout the entire Christmas holidays. How to determine when it’s time to pack up and go catch a taxi in the cold? You may want to extend this romantic day together or, conversely, retire in English, so that your loved one does not have the opportunity to watch for too long how you look sleep-deprived and without fresh makeup.
Much depends on the nuances of your relationship, but the general recipe falls within the framework of common politeness. It is worth thanking the man for the good company, gifts and efforts and going home without insisting on being accompanied. Leave him the opportunity to make his own choice about how to act and how to demonstrate his feelings - to gallantly tag along with you, offer to accompany you, or - which is inevitable - make an offer to spend not only this New Year together!
Holiday menu
A romantic dinner should be light, without causing a feeling of heaviness in the stomach. The following dishes are perfect for this purpose:
- various seafood salads;
- chicken chops;
- vegetables and fruits;
- mild varieties of cheese.
When setting a festive table, it is not at all necessary to do it in a restaurant style with a lot of cutlery and dishes. Instead of a traditional table, you can successfully use a coffee table or even limit yourself to a beautiful tray.
Of course, celebrating the New Year is impossible without champagne or other wine that the couple likes, but it is better to avoid strong alcoholic drinks.
New Year's outfit
When choosing a dress for the New Year, you should remember that it should look sexy and seductive. The same goes for underwear. By the way, any woman feels more confident in chic lingerie, even if those around her are not aware of its existence.
Even if the New Year celebration takes place in an apartment, it is advisable to wear beautiful shoes or sandals with heels, this will add femininity and completeness to the image. And you certainly can’t do without New Year’s manicure and makeup.

How to create a romantic atmosphere and make the evening unforgettable? We have great ideas for two!
Decor, of course, is not the most important thing for lovers. But you must admit that the right surroundings only fuel feelings. So be sure to spend time on this. Candles, lights, small snowflakes on the window and a lot of other pleasant little things will create a festive atmosphere and increase the anticipation of a miracle.
The most important thing is to do everything together: choose toys, decorate the Christmas tree, decorate the room, create a menu... All this will help create a real New Year's mood for you and your partner.
How to decorate a room? If you are going to focus on traditional romantic decor, the main thing is not to overdo it with hearts: too much “vanilla” surroundings can turn your holiday into Valentine's Day.
A garland of hearts, angels and mini-Christmas trees will add comfort and warmth to your holiday. A few candles placed on a festive table, fireplace or even on the floor will fill the house with mystery and romance.
How to decorate a Christmas tree?
The holiday will become even more anticipated if you make all the preparations together. This will help create a New Year's mood for you and your partner. Buy a fluffy, beautiful Christmas tree in advance and decorate it with your loved one. We recommend adding a few handmade decorations to the Christmas tree, then the decor of the room will look holistic and create the necessary atmosphere. Snowflakes, hearts and stars made from glittery decorative paper are perfect for this.
And be sure to hang a few heart cards on the tree with touching words for your one and only - let them become an additional sweet surprise.
How to set the table?
If our goal is a romantic evening, table decor cannot do without candles. For an intimate setting, minimalism is enough - use several spruce branches for serving, and also try to fold the napkins in some unusual way, making a Christmas tree, bow or angel out of them.
A traditional menu with an abundance of hearty dishes is usually not associated with a romantic evening, so on this evening it is better to give preference to light but delicious dishes. Celebrating the New Year is a great occasion to add something new and unusual to the menu. Mediterranean cuisine, maximum seafood or even Japanese sushi are perfect.
Dishes and snacks You can make baked fish the main decoration of the table - trout, salmon or salmon will appeal to both the symbol of the coming year and your partner. Complete your menu with seafood salads. By the way, scallops and oysters are a proven aphrodisiac, so New Year's Eve will definitely be exciting and passionate.
If you both are sushi lovers, this dish will also be quite appropriate on the holiday table. Rice and fish are the favorite delicacies of the Fire Rooster, and spicy wasabi and ginger will help you pay tribute to the fire element of the New Year.
Drinks and desserts For a romantic New Year, it is best to choose light fruit desserts: chocolate-covered strawberries, fruit combined with cream or caramel - these are not only tasty, but also tempting.
Well, “classics of the genre” will help turn your evening into a real celebration - sparkling wines from champagne to lambrusco. They go perfectly with fruit and a light dinner, while adding mood, fun and joy to your celebration.
Decide on an idea for a festive event.
The classic option is a candlelight dinner. Most likely, your beloved man will prefer this option. In fact, you can deviate from the classic version and celebrate the New Year in a special way.
Maybe you are already dreaming of visiting some country? Try to find on the World Wide Web the features of New Year’s celebrations in the country of interest, and then bring it all into reality. Try to decorate your apartment in a special way, choose special outfits and even cook national dishes. You can even give gifts based on the traditions of the country you are interested in.
You can organize a pajama party. In this case, the best gifts would be beautiful pajamas. Moreover, you can prepare light but truly delicious snacks. Select several films that you would like to watch. You can choose paintings that will be a surprise for each other.
Even if you decide to organize a classic dinner, try to decorate the room in a special way and beautifully set the table. In addition, gifts can be original. A joint New Year will be special only if you can choose non-standard solutions and turn them into reality.
