It’s a long-standing tradition. Pop the champagne, pour, countdown, toast. But does it have to be that boring? Why not toast with some flair and style?

And given the deep freeze across the nation, a “Winter Wonderland Mimosa” seems like the best toast to bring in the new year.

And don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect. Mine didn’t. But it’s still fancy!
