In France, New Year's Eve is called la Saint-Sylvestre and is usually celebrated with a feast called le Reveillon de Saint-Sylvestre. This feast usually includes special items like champagne and foie gras, and the celebration can range from an intimate dinner with friends to a grand ball (une soiree dansante).
At midnight everyone kisses under the mistletoe and offers best wishes for the new year. Kissing under the mistletoe is a New Year's custom in France rather than a Christmas custom as in other countries. It can be on the lips or on the cheek depending on the relationship between the two people.
La Petite France has everything you need for your New Year's Eve celebration from mini dessert and sandwich platters to classic French yule logs, macarons, pastries and breads.
Bonne Annee et Bonne Sante! (Happy New Year and Good Health!)
