Have a blast this New Year even without the fireworks

Bring on the noise, but make sure you’re safe. Setting off traditional fireworks, with all the health and safety issues that come with it, isn’t the only way to celebrate the coming of the new year. Say no to smoke, unsafe noise, and the constant danger of losing your limbs. To help you with your party planning, here are some things that you can do to liven up your celebration and ensure that your new year would be a blast.

Cook awesome putok-batok food

The only fire you need to be lighting is the one in your ihawan. Bring out your barbecue, liempo, isaw, hotdogs, anything and everything that’s perfect for your celebration. Add your sisig, lechon, and of course, some round fruits for good luck.

Food is always basic to every Filipino celebration so it not only fills the void in your hungry tummy but also the void left by not lighting up your new year explosives. Just make sure you don’t explode your arteries by overdoing the fat and salt.

Prepare familiar games

Walang sasabog kundi ang saya! Staple card games during gatherings like Pusoy Dos and tong-its will always be well-received and can help pass the time as you wait for the clock to strike 12. If you are lucky to have a table or board around, billiards and darts are always fun.

Get a competition going and let competitive sparks fly instead of fireworks. Just make sure no one loses too much to get totally wrecked and miss ushering in the new year.

Welcome the New Year with your fave hits

Ikanta mo na lang ‘yan. The only day we can forgive horrendous singing on neighborhood videoke is when everything else is noisy, too. So sing My Way as loud as you like and still have your way by the end of the day. Playing the guitar with your amp on extra strong volume or blasting your music from portable speakers can also be forgivable if it is in place of the noise of blasting fireworks.

The simplest way to welcome 2020 with a bang, and keep your fingers intact is the Red Horse Beer #PatugtogHindiPaputok playlist. There’s a new playlist of our common Filipino paputok featuring Sinturon ni Hudas, kwitis, super lolo, and many more.

Whether it’s food, games, or music, your New Year celebration needs that happy horse energy to ring in 2020. Time to kick out all the bad vibes from the year that was and make your 2020 as extra strong as Red Horse Beer. Accompany your inihaw, fill up your beer cups, or pampalakas loob sa videoke, Red Horse Beer makes your celebration extra strong even without the danger fireworks bring. Drink moderately, mga ser!
