Celebrating New Years Eve 2024 in Luxembourg

In Luxembourg people love getting together with family and friends to celebrate the New Years Eve 2024. It is not general to have a big meal for the holiday, but rather easy foods such as cold plates and appetizers. Cheese, cracks, deli meat and fish are served to guests.

Fish is generally served at excellent parties, and often oysters are served as well due to German and French influences in Luxembourg. It is also general in Luxembourg to serve butter cake and fondue in the shape of a calendar. The New Year cake is most often served with ice cream.

People of Luxembourg also love drinking alcoholic drinks on New Year Eve, and at midnight they toast to the New Year with Cremant, which is a remarkable wine. Generally soup is served later in the night as well. Some Luxembourg people celebrate with German influences and eat a pig marzipan, because pigs are thought to bring best luck for the next year. Fireworks can be heard all over Luxembourg at midnight on New Year celebration, as this is a well kept tradition.
