Celebrating New Year’s Eve at home doesn’t mean you have to sit on your couch and watch others ring in January 1 around the world on TV. Throw your own celebration, whether it’s just you and a friend or your entire family! We’ll help you handle the cooking – we’ve rounded up our best New Year’s recipes, all of which are made for hosting parties of every size.
