Welcome 2025 With a Splash: Hosting a New Year's Eve Hot Tub Party
New Year's Eve is the perfect time to celebrate in style, especially with a hot tub or swim spa. Alberta's winter chill makes a warm outdoor soak even more inviting as you count down to midnight. Here's how to host a memorable New Year's Eve hot tub party with loved ones.
1. Make Your Hot Tub Party-Ready
Start by cleaning your hot tub thoroughly and checking the water's pH levels to ensure a comfortable soak. Add festive touches like floating LED lights or simple decorations to create a cozy, vibrant atmosphere for your guests.
2. Create a Festive Ambience
Turn your backyard into a winter wonderland with string lights, lanterns, and shimmery garlands. Party hats, noisemakers, and sparklers add a fun touch as midnight approaches. Remember to keep plenty of warm towels, blankets, and robes on hand to keep everyone comfortable outside.
3. Prioritize Safety
Safety is essential for any hot tub gathering. Here are a few tips to ensure a safe and fun time for all:
Drink responsibly: Remind guests that alcohol and hot tubs don't mix well. Offer plenty of water to ensure everyone stays hydrated.
Control water temperature: Keep the water between 100°F and 104°F to avoid overheating.
Encourage breaks: Ask guests to take a break from the hot tub every 15-20 minutes to cool off.
Supervise children: Always watch young guests or non-swimmers, ensuring they enter and exit the hot tub safely.
4. Serve Easy-to-Enjoy Snacks and Drinks
Stick to simple, hot tub-friendly snacks like skewered fruit, cheese platters, and finger foods that are easy to enjoy without causing a mess. For drinks, offer hot chocolate, mulled cider, sparkling water, and champagne for toasts.
5. Set the Mood with Music
A good playlist is vital to keeping the energy lively. Start with upbeat songs, then transition to relaxing tunes as midnight nears. Choose a mix of NYE classics and crowd-pleasing hits. Waterproof speakers are a smart addition to ensure the music flows smoothly around the tub.
6. Celebrate the Countdown in the Hot Tub
Just before midnight, invite everyone to gather in the hot tub for the year's final moments. Hand out sparklers or raise a glass of champagne (or sparkling water) to toast to 2025 together. It's a unique way to welcome the new year in warmth and style.
