What do you like to do for New Year’s Eve? Even before kids, we weren’t the partying type. We love to stay home, eat some delicious treats, drink apple cider, and play card games and board games until well past midnight and into the New Year. We have continued this tradition for years with our kids, too.
If you do love a party, I’ve got a free printable 25-page eBook New Year’s Eve Party Kit just for you! Click here to download it!

Happy New Year Ball Drop Cupcakes
This recipe is made for 8 MINI cupcakes, but you can totally double, triple, or even quadruple it very easily. You could even skip making cupcakes and use those mini muffins in the packages – like the party ones with funfetti.
Here’s what you’ll need.
Frost cupcakes in a swirl using a piping bag and star tip or just spread it on in a thick layer. Then, sprinkle gold and silver sugar all over the frosting.
Pour some of the candy into each shot glass and fill almost halfway. Place a cupcake into each glass.
Poke a gumball onto each toothpick, and poke a toothpick down into the frosting on top each cupcake. The ball can just rest on top the frosting.
