Enjoy a Safe 2021 Celebration, Virtually
Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, like every holiday since Valentine’s Day 2020, New Year’s Eve is going to look a lot different this year than it ever has before. There will be no hordes of revelers in Times Square, and most people won’t be celebrating at glitzy bashes and balls full of bubbly. Instead, most of us will be safely social distancing—but it doesn’t mean we have to be alone or forgo festivities entirely. These virtual New Year’s celebration ideas can help close out 2020 with a bang—and also welcome 2021 in a healthy way that will ensure we’ll be able to celebrate with loved ones later.

Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others. Travel and gatherings with family and friends who do not live with you can increase your chances of getting and spreading COVID-19 or the flu.
