New Year dinner

Annual midnight meal

A New Year dinner is a celebratory meal eaten to mark the new year, typically on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.

Many cultures incorporate symbolic foods thought to bring luck or prosperity—black-eyed peas in the American South, long noodles in East Asia, lentils in Italy.

We're hosting a New Year dinner for the whole family.
