new year's eve party drinks ideas

Are you hosting a New Year's Eve party or gathering? Then, you've come to the right place for some exciting and unique drink selections.
 
With Christmas sorted thanks to hampers.com’s amazing selection of festive gifts, let’s focus on New Year’s Eve and a time to celebrate with friends and family. Offer your special party guests something a bit different and welcome in 2026, in style!

 

Your arrival drinks

Serve delicious warming mulled wine

Jacob Marley's Mulled Wine; Perfect for Christmas Gifting

Make a great first impression and start the night right with a special New Year’s Eve arrival drink. Welcome your guests with something warming as they step in from the cold. A steaming mug of mulled wine is a traditional favourite, which will fill the room with festive aromas. Buy it pre-made to make the party prep super easy.

We highly recommend Jacob Marley’s Mulled Wine (isn’t the name just great?!). You'll find it in our star Christmas hamper, The Festive Night In Hamper. All you have to do is warm the mulled wine through on the hob and add a little orange peel, if you fancy! 
 

Offer an inviting non-alcoholic alternative

Serve something refreshing

For the drivers or those who prefer not to drink alcohol, offer the stunning and delicious Sparkling Clementine and Cranberry, a special Festive Edition by Belvoir Farm. It offers all the flavours of Christmas, in a sophisticated twist.

It is truly delicious, looks like a cocktail, and is completely alcohol-free! You can find this flavoursome fizz in our Luxury of Joy Christmas Hamper.

Select a special New Year's Eve worthy Champagne

When it comes to New Year’s Eve parties, it’s important to have plenty of fizz, chilling nicely, ready for the all-important midnight toast. Why not spend a little extra on some fine Champagne? You can’t go wrong with a bottle of Autreau Champagne. It looks stunning presented in our new Luxury Champagne Wooden gift box.

The lesser-known vineyards of Champagne offer some truly spectacular sparkling wines, with innovation at their heart. Our exquisite Autréau Champagne is perfectly balanced, refreshing and glowing gold in colour. The family-run vineyard works sustainably and innovatively which is something that's really important to us here at hampers.com when considering which artisan producers and makers we would like to work with.  
 

 prefer a Prosecco?

 
Traditional Christmas Food and Drinks Gift HamperIf you prefer your fizz from Italy, then Prosecco is both a refreshing and tasty alternative. It’s perfect if you are hosting a big party with lots of guests, to keep everyone happy.
 
If you fancy a real treat, then we highly recommend our exclusive Tenuta Sconta Prosecco. It is light, fresh and delightfully bubbly. You can find it in our Traditional Christmas Hamper  - a hamper bursting with delights. Perfect for enjoying an intimate New Year's gathering.
 
This also comes with a delicious array of sweet and savoury seasonal-inspired treats to enjoy alongside. Dive into true indulgence with an award-winning Monty Bojangles Choccy Scoffy truffle with your something sparkling and let the chaos of Christmas slip away. 
 

End of the night tipple

Time for a night cap

The Christmas Celebration hamper from hampers.com

When it is time to round off the evening, enjoy something extra special as the party comes to an end in the early hours of New Years Day. If you are throwing a special dinner party or even just a meal for two, then there is nothing better than finishing a night of celebrations with some strong, British cheeses and artisan biscuits, especially when paired with a rich, velvety liqueur, like the British Cassis Blackcurrant Liqueur from our Christmas Celebration Hamper. 

Happy New Year from the hampers.com team

Whatever this year has held, we wish you all the very best for 2026. Celebrate and enjoy with loved ones, family and friends on New Year’s Eve. Whether it’s a quiet night in, a sophisticated dinner or an all-night party.
