  • Hey guys, it's Arianita La Gringa and welcome back to my YouTube channel.

  • Today is my last video, but just for this year, for 2023, because the year is about to end.

  • It's almost 2024, and I thought to myself, what would be a great video for you guys?

  • So in today's video, I will teach you all New Year's vocabulary at Party City, because they have a ton of decorations and supplies inside the store.

  • I will also teach you new words and phrases that people use to celebrate the New Year and how people celebrate the New Year here in the United States.

  • So come along with me and let's go inside the store.

  • Before teaching you all New Year's vocabulary, you might be wondering, what is Party City?

  • Party City sells a bunch of party supplies for your celebrations.

  • For example, they sell party supplies for birthdays, graduations, and many more.

  • They sell balloons, pinatas, and everything you need to celebrate a special occasion.

  • So if you want me to make a video about Party City vocabulary and show you the different types of decorations and supplies you need for a party, let me know down below.

  • But for now, I'm going to find the aisle that has New Year's supplies and teach you all New Year's vocabulary.

  • The day before the New Year is commonly referred to as New Year's Eve.

  • This is the day before the New Year.

  • So when you say something like Eve, for example, Christmas Eve, that means it is the day before Christmas.

  • So New Year's Eve is December 31st and the New Year is January 1st.

  • New Year's Eve is celebrated by dancing, drinking, and lots of eating with your friends and family.

  • So let's go ahead and check out the different supplies they have in this aisle, New Year's Eve aisle.

  • If you're having a party, that means you're the host.

  • You're hosting the party.

  • So if you're hosting a big party, you might need a lot of New Year's Eve decorations.

  • And behind me, one thing that would really catch my eye is having a banner.

  • This is a New Year's Eve banner and it has the words, Happy New Year.

  • And this banner will hang on your ceiling or you can tape it up on the wall.

  • And this is a great piece of decoration because it'll hang from string.

  • This banner is $10 and there are four pieces.

  • Right next to this banner, there is just one banner.

  • And instead of saying Happy New Year, this one just says the year 2024.

  • And this one costs $12.

  • If you want to hang up a banner, but you don't want to hang it up in front of a plain white wall, you can buy a backdrop.

  • This is a beautiful gold backdrop that'll be behind a banner.

  • And this is nice because you can take pictures in front of the backdrop and the banner.

  • And this backdrop costs $30.

  • Another way to decorate your home for New Year's Eve, besides having a banner or a backdrop, is having balloons.

  • Look at the variety of balloons they have behind me.

  • They have balloons of all different sizes and lengths.

  • This one is blue.

  • This one is pretty cool.

  • But a lot of their balloons are gold, black, and silver.

  • So these are the three colors for the New Year.

  • There are different types of balloons behind me.

  • This one is a champagne glass and it says, Cheers.

  • This one is beer and it costs $16.

  • And this one is in the shape of multiple stars.

  • And the most famous drink of the New Year is champagne.

  • So this is why this balloon is in the shape of a champagne bottle.

  • These balloons over here cost $16.

  • But some balloons, like this pink one behind me, cost even more.

  • They are even more New Year's Eve.

  • New Year's Eve.

  • Besides household party decorations, you can buy things to wear.

  • So you can buy things like hats, a party hat, which is a fun and festive way to put something on your head.

  • This is a cone hat and it's dipped in glitter and you will just wear it on top of your head.

  • Each cone hat costs $1.50.

  • So this is a great and cheap way to buy things for your party guests.

  • Here there's another type of cone hat.

  • This one says Happy New Year and it's black and gold.

  • So there are different colors of cone hats.

  • And then they have a crown.

  • This is a crown and it says 2024.

  • And then this is a royal crown and it costs $5.

  • I feel like I'm a queen.

  • This is a top hat and it says Happy New Year.

  • This top hat lights up and I have to press this button for it to light up.

  • And it costs $9.75.

  • And then for a woman they have tiaras.

  • This is a tiara and it costs $2.80.

  • And over here they have different kinds of headbands.

  • This is a headband and it says 2024.

  • This is so cute to wear for a New Year's Eve party.

  • And they also have masks.

  • This is a mask that can cover your face.

  • And I feel very mysterious in this and I feel like this is a very fun way to This mask costs $7.

  • And they also have necklaces.

  • These are necklaces and this one that I'm wearing right now lights up and it says 2024.

  • Wow, look at this.

  • And they also have glasses that will match with this necklace.

  • Let me turn it on because this one also lights up.

  • How do I look?

  • Another way people celebrate the New Year is they do a countdown and this just means counting backward from 10 to 1.

  • So you say 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

  • And then after that people say Happy New Year.

  • And the best way to celebrate this is to twist this open.

  • This is a giant confetti cannon and confetti will pop out and then confetti will blow all throughout the This is a noisemaker and it makes a very loud sound.

  • And then these are blowers which you'll put in your mouth and you'll blow.

  • And this will also make a very loud sound.

  • And this costs $6.

  • But there's a set.

  • There are eight pieces inside this set.

  • And people normally use noisemakers or blowers because this will ward off the evil spirits and will bring good luck to the New Year.

  • Every year my family and I, we bang pots and pans because that makes really loud noises and that brings in good luck for the New Year.

  • I know that many people all around the world celebrate the New Year differently.

  • I know that in Australia they are one of the first people to celebrate the New Year.

  • And then I read online that people in Italy will normally wear red underwear.

  • If you're from Italy, let me know down below if you wear red underwear for the New Year.

  • And I know that in some Latin American countries in South America they eat 12 grapes and each grape is one wish for the New Year.

  • Also some people may go outside their house and they may walk with a suitcase and that means they will travel a lot that year, that New Year.

  • And here in the United States the most famous tradition is watching the ball drop in Times Square.

  • So I've never been to We'll put it on on the TV, we will count down backward from 10 to 1 and the ball will drop right in the middle of New York City.

  • And let me know down below what you guys normally do to celebrate the New Year.

  • How do you celebrate New Year's Eve?

  • Because I know in China they don't celebrate the New Year until the end of January or the beginning of February because they have a totally different calendar.

  • So let me know down below your New Year's traditions in your country.

  • Another way to celebrate the New Year is drinking.

  • So let's say this is a real champagne bottle.

  • This isn't a real champagne bottle, it's just confetti.

  • But if it were real I would pour the champagne bottle in a champagne glass and then after pouring that champagne glass I would go next to my friend or family member and I would cheers them.

  • I would say cheers, I would tap the cheers.

  • Of course this store sells everything you need to host a party, to have a party.

  • So if you're hosting a party and don't want to wash your plates or your dishes you can buy plastic plates.

  • This plate has a clock on it.

  • They even sell plastic cups and these cups say Happy New Year.

  • So each thing in this aisle has the same theme.

  • They are black, gold, and silver and they all say Happy New Year.

  • They even sell napkins that say 2024 the New Year.

  • But I'm not hosting a party this year so I'm just going to buy this.
