It’s not long now till 2020 will be finally over, and with the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine having already begun – at least here in the UK – hopefully by the time we’re thinking about the next New Year’s Eve, things will be much closer to normal. A few silly suggestions for what to watch on New Year. Well not perfect, but a reasonable substitute nevertheless. If you’re missing the party atmosphere and want to feel like you’re participating in an event instead of simply watching along, this could be perfect. Games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons provide players with these kinds of experiences. If you’ve been spending a lot of time on your island this year, it could be fun to spend New Year with your animal friends. New Horizons will almost certainly follow suit, with events taking place either side of midnight. Though I believe it hasn’t yet been officially confirmed, every past game in the Animal Crossing series featured a New Year’s Eve event, complete with countdown, party poppers, and an in-game fireworks display. No that’s not the New Year’s event… but it could look similar. Personally I might go back and re-celebrate the Millennium!īonus #2: Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Nintendo Switch, 2020) You can even pick which year you’d like to relive. Out of everything I’ve put forward, picking one of these would make for the most “normal” feeling New Year’s Eve, so if you’ve had anxieties or worries this year, or if you’re caring for someone who is keen on a return to normalcy, this could be a good option. There are many recordings of these shows available online, and you can check out the New York ball drop, Hogmanay in Scotland, and many more. That’s not a lot of room for error if you’re planning on having a busy evening! If you go for the official (BBC) broadcast of the 2019-20 fireworks show, you’ll need to start it at eleven seconds to midnight in order for the countdown to line up. But on YouTube you can find the official broadcasts of many different New Year’s Eve events, including the London fireworks. This one is a total cheat because I said we would look at things to watch instead of the usual fireworks displays. The fireworks displays in London are centred around the London Eye. Timestamp: 2:50:20 (Extended Edition Blu-ray) Number 1: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) I started thinking about other things to watch, and I came up with five potentially fun ideas (and a couple of bonus ones!) Despite that, for the last few years I’ve spent my New Year’s Eves with the London fireworks display on television – one of the many events that has been cancelled this time around – simply because there aren’t a lot of other options. A professional display can be fun to see if you’re there in person, but on television much of the impact is lost. I’ve never been particularly impressed by fireworks. With parties also off the agenda for most of us, I thought I’d put together a fun list of things to watch instead as the minutes tick closer to midnight. Around the world, fireworks displays and other big events are being shut down due to the pandemic, and while I’m sure most of you are too sensible to have even considered attending such an event in person, many of these parties and countdowns were scheduled to be televised, which leaves us with a gaping hole in our New Year’s Eve viewing. This year has seen a lot of cancellations, and as the end of the year approaches that has extended to New Year celebrations too. Spoiler Warning: There are minor spoilers ahead for the titles on this list.
