Event Description
Got time to kill before the clock strikes twelve on New Year’s Eve? Well, Lunch Club too! We’ll be getting together after supper (or dinner—depends where you are! ), to share virtually a hot or cold beverage in fellowship, maybe a sweet treat too. So, bring your “party”—drinks, hats, snacks, lots to talk about—and let’s have fun! To get into the festive spirit, below are a few how-to/recipe links just for fun and inspiration (i.e., absolutely no need to spend extra). See you on the 31st!
If you’d like to make yourself a party hat, this Wiki How explains (with pictures) how to make two types (cone or crown), and here’s a YouTube video on how to make a party blower.
New York Times Cooking has a recipe for the classic hot chocolate or, here’s a simple hot cocoa.
For mocktails, you can never go wrong with a “Shirley Temple” (to make it a “Roy Rodgers”, just swap the soda with a cola such as Pepsi); or there’s the Food Network’s recipe for “Virgin Pomegranate and Cranberry Bellinis”; or perhaps you’d prefer one of Towne and Country Magazine’s fancy (and spendy!) “12 Mocktails That Are Worthy of New Year’s Eve“.
