These Last Minute New Year’s Essentials Will Arrive Before Your Party
- Dinnertime: Host a potluck or order in. Either way, you’ll need plates and cutlery, and Amazon has a 200-piece set of everything you need for 50 people. With festive plates, forks, napkins and more, you’ll be set for a NYE feast. And as long as you order today with an order over $35, you’ll get it by NYE — $30
- Snack into 2026: Hormel’s party platter comes with the essentials: honey ham, turkey, cheese and crackers. It’ll arrive as early as today—just throw it in the fridge until your guests arrive — $15
- Bubbly: Obviously, a midnight toast is mandatory! Order a bottle (or three) of La Vostra Prosecco from Total Wine and you’ll get it delivered in as little as three hours. Just don’t leave it on the porch overnight in below-freezing conditions, or else you might be in for a disappointing surprise — $13
- For the Kids: Let the little ones raise a glass, too! Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider is a fun way to include the kids when the ball drops. And unlike Champagne, it’s less than $5. It’s a win — $4
- Drinking Games: Games like Buzzed Year Wrapped will keep the party going until the ball drops. Packed with pop culture and hilarious viral references, it makes for a great addition to any NYE gathering — $20
- Colorful: While the adults are playing drinking games, the kids can fill out the New Years Coloring Poster/Tablecloth. Give out some non-toxic, washable markers and let the fun begin — $7
- Inked: The best part of temporary tattoos? They’ll wash off tomorrow. Celebrate New Year’s 2026 with these festive temporary tattoos—and maybe tat that one person who falls asleep on the couch before midnight as punishment — $9
- Airhead: Even though blowing up the 2026 balloons may be a NYE low point, they’ll make for perfect pictures. So, take one for the team, or honestly just find yourself an inflator pump — $4
- Four Eyes: Another staple for any NYE gathering are the New Year’s glasses. Make sure you take some great photos (and that everyone takes home their favorite pair of shades!) — $17
- Dress Up: Even if you don’t actually rent a photo booth, 2026 New Year’s eve props are crucial for celebrating the New Year. Whether you pose with a top hat or a masquerade mask is entirely up to you. Either way, you’ll look stunning — $15
- NYE Glam: Take your party host *look* up a notch with glitzy New Year’s earrings. Dazzling with black and gold sparkles, they’re seriously perfect for celebrating the New Year in style — $13
- So Chic: Dazzle your guests and sparkle all night in a CeCe sequin dress from Macy’s. Order now and it’ll come in 3-5 business days—just in time for the New Year — $59
- For the Memories: Snap some photos of the night on a Polaroid Go Generation 2. It comes with the Mini Instant Camera and a roll of film to get you started. Although it hits the $100, it’s totally worth it for the mems—and the party favors — $100
- Glitter Explosion: Give out some confetti cannons for when the ball drops. Cleaning it all up tomorrow will be a drag, but it’s worth it for that glorious moment when the clock strikes midnight — $20
- Late Night Decisions: Heat up these frozen mini corn dogs as an appetizer or save them as a late night snack for the troopers still partying after midnight. Everyone will need to refuel after the night’s debaucheries — $7
