Celebrities Celebrating New Year’s Eve

Happy New Year from your favorite stars! As the hours and minutes dwindle down in 2020, many of the biggest names in music, movies, television, and online bid a farewell to a less-than-stellar year. While the COVID-19 meant that the New Year’s festivities wouldn’t be as jam-packed and lively as years past, it didn’t stop some celebs from celebrating the arrival of 2021. Be it Kendall and Kylie Jenner taking a moment to treat their mother, Kris Jenner, to a family dinner in Aspen, to Chris Martin going on a ski vacation with Dakota Johnson, to all the many different performances taking place, stars found ways to make their New Year’s Eve Special. After all, while 2020 wasn’t the greatest year (and it might go down as one of the worst in recent memories), that doesn’t mean New Year’s Eve can’t be a night of joy and happiness. Happy New Year!
