The 7 Best New Year's Eve-Themed TV Episodes And Movies

New Year’s Eve. It’s an occasion to pop champagne (not that you really need one to) and wear too many sequins for your own good to ring in the new year--or in this year’s case, to celebrate the fact that 2016 has finally come to an end. This year was no walk in the park. If anything, it was a walk through a haunted house and up Mount Everest. But, it's almost over!

Whether you find yourself at an overly populated party or on your couch this New Year's Eve, there's no better way to get into the new year spirit than by re-watching some NYE-themed TV episodes and movies. Fresh starts, resolutions, and NYE kisses all make for pretty interesting plot lines. So, here are seven of the best New Year's Eve-themed TV episodes and movies.

1. "Friends"

Episode: "The One with the Routine"

In this episode, you can catch Monica and Ross busting out their coordinated dance routine from 8th grade at "Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve". You wish you had their moves.

2. "Seinfeld"

Episode: "The Millennium"

It's the millennium! Kramer and Newman begin planning elaborate parties for New Year's Eve 1999, but separate when they get into an argument over whether or not Jerry should be included. Meanwhile, George tries to get fired from the Yankees, Elaine gets into a feud with the owner or a Mayan clothing store, and Jerry dates a girl who uses her speed dial as a way to measure her relationships.

3. "New Year's Eve"

This was a given. You knew it was coming. Look at all of those celebs! And New Year's Eve in New York City? How can you resist watching this movie?

4. "How I Met Your Mother"

Episode: "The Limo"

In an attempt to have the perfect New Year's Eve, Ted rents a limo for the whole crew, with Ranjit behind the wheel (of course). They try to hit five parties in three hours and plan to ring in the new year at the best one at the end of the night. Barney's "Get Psyched" mix sets the mood, but they're on a tight time schedule and run into problems along the way.

5. "Gossip Girl"

Episode: "The End of the Affair"

Dan and Serena share a kiss. Chuck watches as Blair and Louis share a kiss. The season 5 episode comes after Chuck and Blair got in a car accident, Blair and Dan strike up an interesting friendship (relationship?), and the Gossip Girl site is down. It's all very dramatic. But, that's how it always is. XOXO, Gossip Girl.

6. "Friends"

Episode: "The One with All the Resolutions"

Yes, "Friends" had more than one notable New Year's Eve episode. In this one, Ross thinks it's a good idea to wear leather pants on a date. The struggle he goes through is never not funny. The episode focuses on resolutions the whole gang makes, and you basically get to watch them all fail at their resolutions. Bottoms up!

7. "Sex and the City"

The movie, not the TV show--but obviously both are great! What's in store for Carrie and her best gal pals on New Year's Eve? Probably something glamorously stressful. Watch it and find out.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
