Denmark

Plate smashing and chair jumping is one of the main New Year’s Eve attractions in Denmark. Smashing things against someone is usually perceived as bad behaviour, but in Denmark, it is not. People of Denmark hold on to chipped dishes and glasses all year just for this unique NYE celebration. People go around the homes of their friends and family and smash those plates against their door. It is also considered as a measure of popularity. According to their tradition and belief, smashed plates bring in good luck. So the more smashed plates, the more luck one will get. Like plate smashing, chair jumping at the stroke of midnight is also a part of their traditional belief and it symbolises the leap into the New Year.

Hungary

Food is something that is so inevitable while describing a culture. Food can link one’s culture and identity. Food is a great aspect of New Year tradition in Hungary. The NYE traditions in Hungary are all about bringing luck, fortune, and health. We can find a menu of lucky meals whilst visiting Hungary on NYE that consists of pork, cabbage rolls, and lentil soup. The people of Hungary believe that a scrumptious dinner of roasted pork on New Year’s Eve can bring a bountiful year. The pork’s rich fat symbolises prosperity that awaits along the way. And it is mandatory to eat only pork. Hungarians avoid eating chicken and fish throughout the day. They believe eating winged fowls will result in luck flying away and fish suggest luck swimming away. 

Scotland

If you head over to Scotland you can see Scottish New Year celebrations, one of the most legendary NYE celebrations in the world, popularly called Hogmanay. Even though there are many customs, fire is something that plays a significant role in Hogmanay customs. The Scots parade through the streets swinging blazing balls of fire around and it is thought to derive from the pagan traditions of the pre-Christian Celts. Get ready, it is not for those chicken hearted. The Torchlight Procession in Edinburgh can be identified as a homage to its history. The Highland custom of “saining” the house, that includes blessing both the house and livestock, is also seen in some households.   

These are some of the most popular destinations on the planet to celebrate the last day of the year. Where will you go to ring in 2024?
