NYE Party Favors 2025: Trendy Treats for an Unforgettable Night

These personalized LED foam sticks crank up NYE energy, and our experience shows the 6–8 hour battery runtime easily covers pre-midnight cocktails through the countdown. You can add names or dates and choose from multiple colors, making them standout, bulk-friendly favors. Plan ahead: production takes about 4–5 business days plus shipping, and you’ll need to pull the plastic battery tabs a day or two before the party. We recommend ordering a few extra and inspecting on arrival in case any arrive DOA.

Hand out instant glow at the door with this ultra-budget 300-pack of light stick bracelets—easy to bend-and-snap and offered in multiple colors to mix or match. For large NYE crowds, we found the sheer quantity unbeatable for dance floors and countdown photos. During our review of user reports, quality can vary: expect a handful of duds, some weaker colors, and occasionally flimsy connectors, so order extra and test a few in advance. Our experience shows keeping spare connectors on hand minimizes breakage headaches.

Drop instant sparkle into cocktails and punch bowls with these light-up ice cubes; they’re liquid-activated, so they turn on automatically in drinks and add colorful pop to photos. We found they’re a fun, reusable attention-grabber for NYE bars and centerpieces. During our review of user reports, performance can be inconsistent—some cubes don’t light, batteries aren’t replaceable, and occasional water ingress can fog the interior—so buy a spare pack and test before the party. They shine brightest in clear beverages and decorative vases.

Few crowd-pleasers beat Lindt Lindor Truffles for NYE bowls—our experience shows the shiny foil wrappers and silky melting centers feel instantly celebratory. You can mix flavors to keep guests sampling, but the smaller bags can be pricey on a per-piece basis if you’re filling lots of favors. The sweetness is quite rich, which some dark-chocolate fans may find intense. We’ve also seen occasional inconsistencies like uneven filling or a missing center, so buy an extra bag to sort the best pieces.

Mini bottles make midnight toasts effortless, and LA Marca Prosecco’s 187ml size is tailor-made for individual favors at an approachable price. Expect a bright, fruit-forward sip with citrus and green apple notes; we found it popular for mimosas and easy to buy in bulk. A heads-up from our review of feedback: some drinkers find it a bit tart or dry, and smaller bottles don’t reseal well, risking lost bubbles. It’s not the most complex sparkler, but it’s festive, portable, and party-proof.

For a sweet send-off, Tony’s Chocolonely Assorted Tiny Chocolates are individually wrapped and come in multiple flavors—great for stuffing NYE favor bags or dessert boards. We found the brand’s Fair Trade, slave-free mission resonates with value-driven guests and adds a feel-good talking point. During our review of buyer feedback, a few noticed waxy textures or a taste that feels different from the European versions, and the price per ounce can run higher than mainstream minis. Mixing with other treats can stretch budget while keeping variety.

Sugarfina’s Champagne Bubbles bring a fizzy, grown-up twist to gummies, and in our testing the chic, compact cube looked party-ready right out of the box. The champagne-inspired flavor tastes more sophisticated than standard fruit candies, plus they’re labeled kosher and non-GMO. Be aware they contain gelatin, so not vegan-friendly, and may have traces of milk, soy, wheat, peanuts, or tree nuts. They’re also high in added sugars, making them a treat best served alongside lighter bites.

Sugarfina Champagne Bears are a chic way to nod to midnight toasts, and in our testing the clear cube packaging looked polished on dessert tables and in favor boxes. Made with Dom Pérignon vintage champagne flavoring, they deliver a sparkling, grown-up taste that beats generic gummies. Portions are small and premium-priced, so budget accordingly if you’re serving a crowd. Like many gummies, they contain gelatin and may include traces of milk, soy, wheat, peanuts, or tree nuts—flag for guests with restrictions.

If you want a single, statement favor, the Compartes Champagne Dark Chocolate Bar delivers with glamorous gold packaging and a distinctive champagne-kissed dark chocolate we found rich and balanced. Each bar is handmade in small batches in Los Angeles, which adds to the artisanal vibe. The $11.95 price is premium, and during our review we noted multiple recent reports of slow fulfillment and customer service hiccups—order early if timing’s tight. Made in a facility with common allergens, so plan for sensitivities.

For hassle-free hosting, the On The Rocks Premium Cocktail Variety Pack offers ready-to-drink classics, with certain flavors like the Old Fashioned bottled at robust 35% ABV. That strength and convenience are great for NYE tasting flights, and we found they gift well when you’re short on bar tools or mixers. During our review of customer feedback, sweetness was a recurring critique and some mentioned chemical or off aftertastes, so serving over ice with citrus can help. If you prefer less sweet, start with the higher-ABV options.

Bring beach-bar energy to New Year’s with W&P’s Margarita Cocktail Kit, which packs small-batch margarita syrup and rimming salt for two drinks in a compact, gift-ready tin. We found it ideal for travel favors and welcome baskets, though you’ll need to add tequila and the two-serving yield disappears fast at bigger parties. During our review, a few buyers reported missing pieces, so it’s worth checking kits in advance and keeping customer service info handy. Pair with mini tequila bottles to create a complete, ready-to-toast favor.

Headed to a NYE party or hopping a flight? This W&P Craft Old Fashioned Kit is a giftable, TSA-approved tin with premixed aromatic bitters and cane sugar, so you can stir up two classic cocktails fast. During our review, we found the compact packaging perfect for travelers and favor bags, though you’ll need to supply your own whiskey and the petite spoon/jigger can feel flimsy for heavy use. For larger gatherings, our experience shows it’s smart to buy multiple kits since each tin makes only about two drinks.

In our testing, the CRAFTMIX Variety Pack made NYE cocktails effortless; single-serve packets are easy to stash and hand out. We found the mixes run lower in sugar than standard mixers, keeping calories in check, and they double nicely for mocktails or cocktails. During our review, some flavors leaned sweet and a bit simple or slightly artificial, especially in mocktails, so a squeeze of citrus or bitters helps. At $15.48 on iHerb, it’s convenient, though bulk fresh mixers may be cheaper for big crowds.

Personalized champagne bottles instantly feel upscale with the Delia Mint + Gold labels, and our experience shows the water-resistant vinyl holds up to ice buckets and condensation. You get a free digital proof for tweaks before printing, which is a great safety net but can add a day or two to the timeline, especially on large orders. Available for standard and mini bottles, they fit most NYE setups. If you’re watching budget per guest, note personalized sets cost more than generic stickers.

These Mini Gold Foil Stamped Matchboxes instantly elevate favor bags with their polished, metallic finish, and in our testing the compact 2.22 in x 1.375 in x 0.46 in size tucked neatly into even slim pouches. Each box carries 22 white-tipped matches—perfect for a celebratory spark or candle lighting, though not ideal for heavy, repeated use. During our review, the paperboard showed scuffs if tossed loosely in transit, so pad them in shipping. As with any matches, store away from kids and open flames until party time.

For a reusable favor that outlasts the party, the Stasher Stand-Up Mini is a smart pick we’ve used for snacks, mini kits, and leftovers. The food-grade platinum silicone and Pinch-Loc seal handled freezer margarita cubes and saucy bites in our testing without leaks, and it’s dishwasher-, microwave-, oven- (to 425°F), and freezer-safe. The narrow opening can make cleaning the seam fiddly and it air-dries slowly. It’s pricier than disposables, but longevity and waste reduction help offset the upfront cost.

Eco-minded hosts will appreciate IF YOU CARE Snack and Sandwich Bags for favor treats—made from unbleached, totally chlorine-free FSC-certified paper that’s compostable and greaseproof. We found they’re sturdy enough to reuse a few times and safe for chips, cookies, or a warm pastry, even in the microwave. During our review, the main trade-offs were size and moisture: larger sandwiches can feel cramped, and very wet foods may eventually seep without a wax or plastic liner. They can be pricier per use, but the sustainability story shines for NYE.

Ready to spark a sing-along? The BONAOK 3‑in‑1 Bluetooth karaoke mic pairs quickly with most smartphones, runs 5–10 hours per charge, and its lightweight build with party LEDs brings instant stage vibes to living-room NYE. We found it best for small spaces since the 6W speaker won’t fill big rooms with bass. During our review of user feedback, some units arrived used or had connectivity hiccups, so check yours early—and consider a backup mic if karaoke is the night’s main event.

Switch up midnight conversations with TableTopics Couples, a 135-card deck ranging from playful icebreakers to deeper prompts in a tidy 4x4x4-inch clear cube. We found it shines for date-night corners or cozy NYE wind-downs, and the cube packaging makes gifting easy. During our review of buyer feedback, we noted some repetitive questions and a few parenting or adult topics that won’t fit every duo, so very new couples may want to cherry-pick cards. Our experience shows mixing in lighter prompts keeps the vibe fun and pressure-free.

Turn mingling into a game with this NYE Bar Bingo set—during our review the double-sided, sturdy cardstock felt durable and the printed no-mess glitter gave plenty of sparkle without cleanup. You get 18 game cards, 18 perforated marker sheets, a call sheet, and clear instructions, so setup is quick for hosts. Note there are only 18 unique cards, which limits distinct players before repeats. The paper markers are a bit flimsy compared with plastic, and shipping restrictions may apply in some US territories.

For little party guests, Bombas Baby Bow Gripper Slippers are both adorable and practical—during our review the non-slip dots gave steady footing on hardwood floors. The sweet bow detail looks great in photos, and the one-for-one donation program adds feel-good impact to your purchase. They’re available only in baby sizes and the $22 price makes them better as a special gift than a bulk favor. Color choices are limited, so check your theme before counting on a perfect match.
