New Year's Eve is right around the corner! Have you planned your celebration yet? Are you having a big party at your home, or going out for New Year's Eve? Will you dress up like a celebrity, or just wear jeans and relax? Do you plan to listen to a band or just play the radio or some ITunes?

And, for the biggest question of all, what will you drink all night? Will you drink alcoholic beverages? Good question. Many of you are recalling last year's New Year's Day, when you woke up at 1 pm to a terrible hangover and a house that looks like 20 screaming kids tore it apart for ten hours. (It must have been some party!) It took you three hours to clean up the mess, and you had to drink five virgin mary tomato juices before you even had the slightest feeling that you might make it through the day.

Maybe you can't drink alcoholic beverages for New Year's Eve. If you're a member of AA, Alcoholics Anonymous, you've got greener pastures to find with a new alcohol free life. You're still on probation for drinking and driving and you need to stay alcohol free this year. Perhaps some medication you are taking dictates that you don't mix it with alcohol.

Or, it could just be that you just don't want to drink this year for New Year's Eve. You've decided there is much more to fun than getting drunk and you want to dry your hand at a dry and sober New Year's eve, to start off your New Year's resolutions right! Or, you would rather avoid the calories in alcoholic beverages. What will you drink all evening then?

Here are ten nonalcoholic beverage ideas for New Year's Eve...

1. Martinelli's Sparkling Cider. This is the best champagne alternative out there. The sparkling cider tastes a little like good champagne, but has no alcohol! This means, if you're having a party with people under 21 and over 21, everyone can drink the same beverage! This is a great alcoholic beverage alternative for toasting at midnight. Just make sure you still have the champagne glasses to put it in!

What is interesting about Martinelli's Sparkling Cider is that you can now get more hip flavors. For instance, Apple-Pomegranate is a new one to try.

AAA (Triple A) the insurance company offers a neat catalog called the Great Pretenders. You can pick up hard copies at any of their branch offices...and order copies of them as well. Your suggestions are great, Christi! Very timely for the New Years Holiday. I enjoyed reading your article...KIM

The virgin frozen drinks or virgin coffee flavorings are my favorites.
