Our kiddo-approved celebration mimics a grown-up New Year’s Eve fete, only with a communal countdown & confetti balloon drop at noon (rather than midnight). Little ones can pose with favorite costumed characters (Anna & Elsa, Spider-Man & Captain Marvel plus a Unicorn Princess & her rainbow pony), create-their-own party favors, dance to live music & play games to welcome in the “noon” year!
