5 Films To Watch on New Year's Eve

In This Article:

All December long there's Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas and TBS makes sure to air A Christmas Story for the entirety of Christmas Eve. Just seven days later as we're ringing in the New Year, though, the choice of holiday films is seriously lacking. For those of you who would prefer a night in on the last day of 2018 with some festive films, o simply want to get yourself pumped for the night ahead, here are a few ideas.

1. New Year's Eve

Giphy

Naturally, the place to start your search is with this obvious choice that revolves the many ways people choose to celebrate. Beware, you might end up with FOMO watching the characters spending New Year's in New York City, but it will undoubtedly put you in a festive mood drinking champagne from the comfort of your couch.

2. How to Be Single

Giphy

Sure, this one rotates just about every holiday of the year, but that doesn't make it any less fitting. The final scene that shows the perks of spending New Year's doing something other than drinking champagne (though no one can deny that's a pretty good way to go), and just might inspire you to do the same.

3. Sex and the City

Giphy

With glittery outfits and fur coats, a montage set to Auld Lang Syne and snow falling on the 31st, this film will get you in the right vibe before the night out with your girls. If nothing else you'll be inspired by Carrie's effortless ability to rock pajamas and heels.

4. When Harry Met Sally

Giphy

If you haven't cried at the final scene of this one and wished that the same thing happens to you on New Year's Eve, then you're doing something wrong. Though this one doesn't revolve around the holiday, its final moments will remind you why it is that this arbitrary day feels so special every year.

5. Age of Adaline

Giphy

Lesser known than a few of the others listed, this one will remind you that not having the most over-the-top, spectacular New Year's Eve ever is not the end of world and that at midnight nothing has really changed. It will make you want to keep your resolution to make to the gym though when you see the way Blake Lively looks as the lead role.

In an effort to be festive but avoid all the craziness of parties, staying in with a movie on the 31st may be just what you need and these movies may make the decision to stay in just a little bit easier.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
