What plans can I make for New Year's if I don't want to go out?
This year I'd rather stay home relaxed instead of going to a crowded plaza. I feel like doing something more laid-back with my close friends.

I'd say the best thing is to have dinner at home, something you can cook yourself - I always prepare something special for the night, nothing too complicated but something that turns out well. Invite some close friends, put on some music, play cards or something like that while you eat, and watch the New Year's broadcast on TV if you want. Another option is to do a movie marathon, prepare some snacks, and just enjoy it without the chaos of going out, it's way more chill.
Staying home is way more sensible than throwing yourself into those crowds. As an accountant, I don't like leaving things to chance, and New Year's squares are unpredictable - overcrowding, theft, accidents, who knows what else.
Besides the dinner they mention above (which is solid, I do it myself), you can put together something with more entertainment value. Organize a board game or card tournament with friends, something where people have fun without having to run out into the street. Put some background music on, have the drinks ready, and if you want to impress them without overcomplicating things, make something like a cheese and cold cuts board, some simple appetizers. You don't need to turn into a chef for it to be a good time.
What I personally do is end the night watching a movie with the people who matter to me, something relaxing. After the toast at 12 you can keep chatting, playing, or just relaxed without the pressure of being surrounded by strangers. It's a plan that works better for someone who runs in the mornings like me - you prefer the calm, controlled pace. That way you end the year without stress and start 2027 well-rested, not beaten down by the masses in the street.
