Say goodbye to the old and hello to the new with these fun apps!
As another year comes to a close, we start to ponder on what the upcoming year will bring. We have hope that things will be better or trust that things won’t change. We set new resolutions that we’re determined to keep and reflect on what came before us. Before the new year begins, we all celebrate the end of the old one.
To make your New Year’s Eve its most joyous, check out these apps to help ring in the new year.
New Year’s Eve Counter
It’s getting closer and closer to the countdown, you’ve gathered with your friends and family, and you’re ready to toast the new year. Sure, you could stare at the clock, like an animal, or you could let the New Year’s Eve Counter help you celebrate.
Once the timer strikes zero, you can also send festive iMessage stickers to friends and family that couldn’t be with you this year.
There’s even a Lock screen widget, so you can keep track of how close it’s getting so you don’t accidentally miss it.

Ham Horn
When the moment strikes, don’t let anyone celebrate louder than you. With Ham Horn, you can ring in the new year with a virtual air horn. It’s not just an air horn, though. It’s got five additional pre-recorded sounds that you can really annoy your party guests with, including Ham (the sound of a person saying “ham”), Movie Horn, Sad Trombone, Wilhelm (that iconic movie scream), and Uncle Nick (a shifty giggle).
With Ham Horn, you can also record your own sound effect, so you can even customize your own “Happy New Year” horn and blast it through your HomePod speakers.

Ring in the new year with the classic air horn, or use any of the other pre-recorded sounds. Or even make your own!
Jackbox Party Pack
JackBox Games makes fantastic party games that you can play on your PC, Mac, PS3/PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Fire TV, and Apple TV. My favorites are the Party Packs because they come with five games each.
You set up the game on a big screen (via Apple TV, Nintendo Switch, etc.), and each player uses their own phone as a controller to play the game.
It’s hilarious family fun that will pass the time as you wait for midnight to come. You’ll be so engrossed that you may even forget to countdown!
Jackbox Party Pack 6
Jackbox Party Packs are packed with five different games and provide everyone with a ton of fun for your year-end festivities.
