Russian New Year celebration
Duration
4 hours
Overview
-
New Year is definitely one of the most significant festivals for millions of Russians all around the world. In Russia, the New Year is celebrated on December 31, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR OUR GUESTS we will arrange this holiday at any time of the year!
For Russians the New Year is both a family festival and a party with their friends. Tangerines, champagne and meat salad are the must-have dishes at the New Year dinner table.
At about 5 minutes to midnight Russians switch on the TV and watch the President of Russia addressing the people of Russia. After that everybody celebrates the New Year while the Kremlin clock chimes midnight. Russians have a very interesting tradition of making a wish: you need to write a wish on a piece of paper, burn the piece, toss it in a glass of champagne and drink it. Be sure your wish will come true!
There are so many interesting Russian traditions of New Year celebration, which you have chance to know to join us!
