Great changes await us all, important and long-awaited scientific discoveries, sharp turns towards a better life are not excluded.

How to celebrate the New Year 2017: what to cook for the festive table of the Fire Rooster

So, the main question of all housewives: what to cook for the festive table and how to celebrate the New Year of the Rooster 2017 nourishing and tasty, in abundance, so that, according to popular beliefs, spend the whole year this way.

The festive feng shui table looks unusual and fabulously elegant. Red tablecloth with gold embroidery and fringe or lace in gold color, napkins with the symbol of the year. On the table are figurines of a cockerel. And although the dominant geometric figure of the year is a triangle, the table should not have corners. Oval and round tabletops will be ideal for a family or a friendly feast. But if your table is traditionally rectangular, mask the sharp parts of it with decorations - colorful New Year's mini-compositions.

If your tablecloth is white, it doesn't matter, plates and napkins, salad bowls, gravy boats, candles can be red. It doesn't have to be a pattern. Creativity and individuality are not prohibited. You can just buy red and yellow ribbons and tie them with bows on the backs of chairs - budget, bright, and New Years style.

Another New Year's accessory that you shouldn't forget is the golden bell. Get creative and tie these bells to objects that often move: to the legs of chairs, to doorknobs. Let the chime drive away evil spirits and fill the house with festive notes.

New Year's menu in the Year of the Rooster

So, we have taken care of the New Year's decor, now we will think about what to cook on the table for the New Year 2017, which dishes are most suitable. And above all, these are the ones that the Rooster loves. Good hostess when drawing up New Year's menu will try to please not only his family and guests, but also the patron animal of the coming year.

In all matters, the Rooster strives for the ideal, he is demanding and practical. What dishes will please such a fastidious guest? Be sure to place a vase with tangerines arranged in a pyramid in the center of the table. The rooster will love this bright accent.

He will be very grateful for the variety of dishes. A buffet table is the most suitable way to decorate the table in order to provide easy, casual communication, which our hero values ​​so much. Salads from vegetables, both fresh and hot or canned, with the addition of meat and fish. Even an ordinary vinaigrette, laid out in small baskets, will transform and become original dish. Fruit salads or simply fruit mixes strung on skewers. All kinds of canapes from whole grain bread with pastas, pates and cheeses, as well as beautifully presented cuts.

Abundance fresh vegetables and greenery not only decorate the table, but also appease the Fire Rooster. When choosing salads, give preference to vegetable and fruit.

On hot small triangular-shaped dumplings and cabbage rolls are suitable. Prepare them in advance and freeze them. Thus, you will free yourself more time in the pre-New Year's bustle, when you will have no time to prepare such time-consuming dishes.

Fish and meat dishes will also be appropriate, but their number in the total mass should not prevail. And although the host of the holiday is far from an ascetic, chicken and other poultry should be completely abandoned. Chinese horoscope signs cannot stand cannibalism. The same requirement applies to eggs. So the traditional "bowl with olivier" is not this time.

Dishes from cereals and cereals will surely please the patron of the year. But ordinary oatmeal or buckwheat are not options for the New Year's table. You can make kozinaki from seeds, nuts and honey, popcorn in caramel, halva, baklava generously sprinkled with sesame seeds and nuts, oatmeal cookies herringbone-shaped and sprinkled with coconut.

For dessert serve well ice cream with jam and fruit, mousse, multi-colored puff jelly. The rooster loves variety, but does not tolerate excessive wastefulness, so that the table should not "burst with food", choose the options for dishes optimally so as not to burden the stomach and be easy-going, just like a cockerel flying onto a roof or a perch.

As for drinks, then here, too, you have to show your imagination. Cocktails match the festive mood well and go well with the New Year's table. They can be selected both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. If you really want to impress your guests, then you should practice in advance and learn how to pour drinks in layers. Otherwise, just mix the ingredients right in front of the audience, according to your recipe or as guests wish. This will add originality to the holiday. Berry fruit drinks and bright red compotes will also be good. And, of course, champagne is a symbol of a holiday and a vibrant life!

Did you know that the word cocktail itself, translated from English, means cock - cock, tail - tail, that is, “cock's tail”. The first written description dates back to 1806 and is referred to in TheBallance as a stimulant drink composed of several spirits, liqueurs, and sugar.

And the most important component of the New Year's festive table is the wonderful mood of the hostess, who created all this beauty. Do not forget to season them with dishes that will delight both the family and guests, and the fastidious host of the coming year.

The naughty monkey is replaced by the important and unpredictable Fire Rooster. He has his own laws, so you need to try to appease him so that the whole next year will be successful.

Fashion for 2017, especially for women, will change significantly. And the fault is colorful and holiday outfit A rooster that beautiful ladies will adapt to.

Lovers of small, neat, discreet dresses in gray or black tones will have to sacrifice their wardrobe and buy a dress for New Year's Eve that is exactly the opposite of their tastes.

The fact is that the Rooster loves everything colorful, bright, shiny and elegant, like himself. The perfect combination- scarlet and gold colors. Also, the owner of the year will be delighted with the following shades:

  • purple;
  • coral color;
  • Dark red;
  • Orange;
  • burgundy.

White and yellow will be no less relevant, as well as any variations of these colors:

  • ocher;
  • sand;
  • beige;
  • creamy.

If you're not into solid color outfits, go for a floral print. But images of predators, a leopard print will not be in vogue: the Red Fire Rooster is very afraid of them!

Fabrics and styles of women's outfits


The rooster is a shocking creature. He loves sophistication and brightness at the same time. Accordingly, splendor and splendor should be observed in the choice of fabrics. Perfect for:

  • organza;
  • velvet;
  • silk;
  • brocade;
  • chiffon;
  • fabrics with gold and silver patterns.

The cut should also be unusual, romantic. For example, with a flying train, long and flared, although the length of the outfit can be preferred. If you are a bespoke tailor, talk to your tailor and discuss what flamboyant cuts he can offer you. A carnival costume will be very useful (when it is combined with the theme of the party).

Neckline, cuts, translucent inserts - all these elements are not prohibited, but on the contrary, are welcomed by the owner of the year. The choice of outfit should be carried out so that the texture is combined with the style and color. Despite the outrageousness, the Rooster does not like bad taste: all elements must be ideally combined.

And don't forget about jewelry: the owner of the year adores them. Gold and silver rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants and pendants - all this has a place in the New Year's outfit. But avoid cheap jewelry: one expensive piece of jewelry is better than many cheap ones.


You can safely decorate a New Year's costume:

  • rhinestones;
  • lace;
  • embroidery;
  • applications;
  • beads;
  • stones.

Shoes should also be chosen according to the occasion - with stones, rhinestones, unusual shapes and designs. If possible, purchase them at a shoe design studio or decorate yourself so that your shoes are a one-of-a-kind at a party!

And don't forget about hairstyles: they should be no less extravagant. Greek styling, curls, waves and braids - everything will be appropriate for the evening on the eve of the Year of the Rooster!

Men's suits

No one will mind if your companion has to celebrate New Year's Eve in a traditional costume. But you can experiment and try to diversify your wardrobe.


Swap your black suit for white or cream for a more festive color. On the cuffs, you can make gold or silver embroidery. Don't be shy about rhinestones: they will look good on a men's suit if you apply them tastefully.

If the party involves a certain theme, order a carnival costume. Outfits in retro style, cowboy theme are perfect. In general, men can experiment, but do not forget about taste and moderation.

Where to celebrate?

The rooster is a family creature, so it is better to celebrate the New Year 2017 with family and friends. But this does not mean that you should definitely stay at home. You can rent a table in a cafe, go to an entertainment center or a restaurant where a show program is planned.

Nobody canceled the festivities in the main squares of the city with public entertainments. However, the Rooster's favorite form of entertainment remains the carnival. Here the owner of the year can show himself in all his glory. And in the choice of outfits and jewelry, carnival costumes give complete freedom.


It is not necessary to buy an expensive ticket to a restaurant or entertainment center. You can arrange a carnival at home by calling your closest people and announcing the theme of the party in advance.

Many people prefer to leave for the new year in distant countries. There is a wide choice here:

  • warm countries;
  • Northern Europe;
  • sea ​​and river cruises;
  • Moscow region, etc.

And although the Rooster is by nature a homebody and does not like long trips, if you really want to, you can go on a trip.

Hot countries are perfect for those who want to change their usual winter weather and plunge into the warm summer, swim on the beach. However, keep in mind that such a sharp change in climate has a negative effect on health. If your blood pressure lets you down, jumps and haunts you, travel to hot countries is contraindicated for you.


But you can go to Europe, for example, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, where Christmas and New Year are celebrated magnificently, at any time. In Finland, be sure to visit the village of Santa Claus. Shopping remains an integral part of New Year's entertainment, because in Europe at this time they arrange big sales.

And do not forget about sea and river travel with excursions: this is a reason to celebrate the new year in an unusual way, so that the memory of it will remain for a long time.

We meet at home

Those who decide to celebrate the New Year 2017 at home will have to decorate the Christmas tree themselves and prepare a festive dinner.

The rooster loves grains very much, so there must be dishes with cereals or fruits with grains on the table. At Christmas, there should be kutia on the table - a dish made from steamed wheat with honey. If there is no wheat, rice will successfully replace it.

Fruit and vegetable salads can be sprinkled with pomegranate seeds. You can diversify your dishes with pine nuts, sunflower seeds. The theme will be nut desserts, kozinaki.


But the tree needs to be decorated as magnificently as possible. Use red, yellow and multi-colored balls on the tree, beads, rain and garland. The brighter and more festive your beauty looks, the better.

Do not forget to hang on the tree or put figures of Santa Claus, Snow Maiden and Rooster under it. You can make a rooster with your own hands from fabric, paper and other scrap materials.

How and what to celebrate the 2017 New Year of the Rooster, in the end, is an individual decision of each of us. But if you want to observe New Year's traditions and "please" the future owner of the year, you should adhere to the recommendations regarding decorations in the house, dishes on the table and New Year's outfit. Maybe the luck of the next year really depends on it!

You were with Ekaterina Chesnakova with garlic, cockerel and chicken. See you soon.

We begin to prepare for the meeting of the Fiery Rooster! Astrologer Vera Khubelashvili told Woman's Day how to decorate a house, what dishes to serve and what outfit to choose so that the new, 2017, brings happiness and joy.

Vera Khubelashvili, astrologer:

The Year of the Fire Rooster presents special requirements to representatives of all signs of the zodiac. But do not be intimidated by a lively bird, believing that all 12 months will be too difficult. Of course, we all have to try pretty hard, because the Rooster appreciates hard work, but all his requests remain within reason and only call everyone to more serious responsibility. The Rooster is severe only to those people who act dishonestly, have mercenary motives and behave unfairly. Major changes should be expected throughout the year, since the lively bird always seeks to bring something to this world. 2017 will be especially rich in marriages, and these unions, made under the wing of the Rooster, will mostly be happy and long-lasting. At the same time, one should not expect a large number of divorces: the Rooster is a homely bird and will not allow itself to shake family values ​​once again. Nevertheless, this does not mean at all that he will be lenient towards the newly formed couples - the symbol of 2017 is strict towards them and will require partners to carefully look at each other before it is possible to form a stable relationship. And by the way, the first and second decades of the coming year will favor these undertakings!

And in order to appease the Rooster, you need to meet him well on December 31st. The expression "As you meet the year, so you will spend it" is not in vain passed from mouth to mouth for more than one generation. It really works!

Where and with whom to celebrate the New Year 2017 - the year of the fiery Rooster
