If on Christmas Eve it is rather usual to organize a sit-down meal with your family, on the occasion of the New Year, it is not necessary to be so traditional.
You can organize something a little less conventional and more casual, with, for example, a big New Year's aperitif. Small cakes, sausage, olives, generously topped toast, raw vegetables, chips and other small bites, you can give free rein to all your desires and prepare what you want.
Organizing an aperitif dinner is also very practical because your guests can easily participate in the meal, and everyone can arrive at the time they want, it will not delay the meal for anyone.
A very practical organization to take full advantage of the New Year without taking the lead.
