New Year’s Eve Family Dance Party Playlist

Who knew mom and dad could cut a rug? Probably not the kids, which is why a family dance party is the perfect time to show them your moves. Make a playlist of your favourite kid and grown-up songs (or use ours as a guide), and groove your way to a good time for all. When you get tired—and trust us, you will—sit back and watch your kids get-down. For extra fun on the dance floor, start a game of freeze dance. The rules are simple: start the music, get everyone to dance, and when the music stops everybody has to freeze until the song starts up again.
