There was a time when fireworks were a norm in the Filipino household on New Year’s Eve. Now, more and more families have learned to start the year with a bang, but without all the fuss on firecrackers.

Add some spark and excitement to your New Year’s celebration, risk-free! Here are a few ways how:

Feast on a bountiful Media Noche

Welcome the New Year surrounded by friends and family while feasting on your Media Noche. Fill your dinner table with all the delicious food and overflowing drinks to start the year in celebration and prosperity. If you have not prepared for Media Noche, you can always pre-order your food online and pay via Maya. Order on or before December 31, 2018 and you can get a 30% cashback!

Go to a New Year’s Eve party

If you don’t want to spend the quiet evening at home, there are a lot of places to go to if you want to experience counting down the hours with other people and watching artists perform. Each city has its own New Year’s Eve event and this is also a venue where fireworks displays are allowed.

Blast your favorite music

If you’re keen on starting the year in the noisiest way possible, as an alternative to firecrackers, you can play your favorite music on repeat and on full volume. It’s one of the few times of the year when you have a valid reason to be loud. Make the most out of it. You can have your own New Year’s Eve party at home and dance the countdown away.

Call, text, or chat with your loved ones

One of the best ways to enjoy New Year’s Eve is to call and text your loved ones. It’s a good way to start the year by connecting with friends and family.
