With New Year's Eve approaching, it's almost time to start the countdown for New Year's!
New Year's Eve usually means breaking out a bottle of champagne or partying with your friends and family members.
However, if you don't have any plans for New Year's Eve, or are spending the night alone, then you might be wondering what you can do to still make the night special.
Just because you have no set plans for NYE, that doesn't mean you can't still celebrate it! Here are nine ways to spend the night solo that will make it an epic one.
1. Watch New Year's Eve-Themed Movies
If you're spending New Year's Eve alone, then you should pull out some movies to watch!
There are so many good ones out there that have a New Year's Eve theme, such as "New Year's Eve" or "About Time."
You should consider watching them in bed right before watching the ball drop to help yourself relax and feel more at ease.
2. Go To The Bowling Alley
My favorite thing to do when I'm by myself on New Year's Eve is to go to the bowling alley!
Bowling alleys are lit up during New Year's Eve, and they have music along with televisions showing the ball drop. They're a lot of fun if you enjoy bowling!
3. Find A Fun Event To Go To
There are tons of things to do during New Year's Eve!
There are many events at bars, nightclubs, or other venues in town. If you feel like it, you should head out by yourself and find an event to attend.
In Cincinnati, there are lots of places you can go to celebrate. According to 365 Cincinnati, you can go to Taft's Totally '80s party at the Taft House. There are a lot of other events that are going on that you can easily go to by yourself!
4. Plan A Small Party With Family
Just because you don't have any plans for New Year's Eve doesn't mean that you can't create your own plans with your family. If you're with your family, you can plan a small party together!
You can break out the decorations and create themed dishes.

Another thing you can do if you have no plans is to watch the ball drop. You can relax in bed and enjoy the countdown. Whether you watch it by yourself or not, it's the perfect time to chill, grab a drink, and count down to the new year.
6. Create A Resolution For New Year's Eve
You can write a list of possible resolutions and think of what goals you would like to accomplish or achieve next year.
Spending time thinking of the best possible resolutions for you in the new year and ways you can work on achieving them is always a great idea.
7. Go Out To Eat
You can also find somewhere to go out for dinner. There are several restaurants that are open for New Year's Eve that you can visit. Going out to dinner is a perfect way to spend New Year's Eve if you have no other plans!
8. Break Out A Bottle Of Champagne
You don't need to have a party in order to break out a bottle of champagne. If you're spending your New Year's Eve with no plans, that just means you get the whole bottle to yourself! It's also relaxing to have a glass while you're watching the ball drop or watching a New Year's Eve movie! So sit back, relax, and enjoy watching the countdown to 2020.
9. Just Relax!

If you find yourself looking for something to do during New Year's Eve, you should stop searching and try any of the suggestions above! You don't need to have tons of friends or huge plans for the night in order to celebrate. There are so many things that you can easily do yourself, and you'll have a lot of fun enjoying the holiday before the new year begins!
