Tired of the annual family gatherings over a plate of Olivier? Here for you!

December 31st is coming soon, but you don’t know how to celebrate the New Year? Tired of the annual feast and want something unusual? Are you looking for ideas to make the holiday sparkle with new colors? Fine! Let's break stereotypes together. For those who are ready for adventure, we offer 5 topical New Year trends that may well become family traditions.

Winter fun. After the chimes, do not sit in front of the TV, but go out into the street. There you will find not only fireworks, but also for real winter Games... Build snowmen, build fortresses, play snowballs. By the way, the last lesson can be easily turned into a real battle. Call your neighbors and go to the neighboring yard: the snowballs will judge who the real masters of the street are. But in the end, may friendship still prevail!

Winter fitness. While some put Olivier on plates, others follow the figure and go in for sports. No, we do not suggest running headlong to the gym and working out the last hours of the subscription. Look at your favorite city from a different angle: in new year's eve go ice skating, skiing or snowboarding. And don't forget the costume! After all, not every time you see Baba Yaga or Jack-Sparrow, dashingly rushing along the ski slopes or twisting "sheepskin coat" on the ice.

“On New Year's holidays, I try to be at home, because in other months it is difficult to find me in Moscow: my schedule is determined by competitions and training camps. Therefore, the time spent with the family is the most valuable. If plans for the New Year change, then I would prefer to go to some northern country: I love snow and ice very much. I can say that winter views sports in new year holidays will cheer up and decorate the holiday no worse than swimming in the sea or surfing. Once, on January 1, my friends and I decided to go skiing: I still have a lot of vivid impressions, so I highly recommend ",- Russian figure skater, bronze medalist of the 2011 World Championship, silver medalist of the 2012 European Championship, two-time silver medalist of the Russian championships, Herbalife Team Athlete Artur Gachinsky shares his experience.

Winter records. Strive to conquer new heights. And this is in the truest sense of the word. Ask for a team to the climbers and boldly move only up. Let everyone know that you can not only close projects in record time and send brilliant reports a minute before the deadline, but also tame nature. The seat of the king of the hill is still vacant.

Winter's Tale. If you want to arrange yourself a truly fabulous New Year, then go out of town. There is more snow and the air is cleaner. In addition, real trees grow there. There is no need to cut trees, it is better to go with a company to visit fluffy beauties and celebrate a holiday in the bosom of nature. As in childhood, near the Christmas tree you can dance in circles and draw snow angels on the snowdrifts.

Winter travel. If you are already fed up with exotic things, and monkeys with bananas have become the same symbols of the new year as a Christmas tree under a fur coat, then change direction. The first option is a trip north. There you are guaranteed to learn how to dress beautifully for a walk at -50 and whether it is worth waking up on a Polar night. The second option is to move the popular routes aside and choose an unknown location on the map. Did you see a village lost somewhere in Europe? - Look for the nearest airport and buy tickets. Perhaps in a few years it will be you who will become a travel trendsetter and open your own travel agency for non-standard destinations.

And most importantly: don't forget to make a wish. It will definitely come true, because the New Year is a time of miracles!

We are grateful to Herbalife for their help in preparing the material.
