New Year's eve plans: What are top trending New Year's resolutions?

Every New Year's also triggers the eternal debate about resolutions. A majority of US adults say they intend to make a New Year's resolution of some type, but millennials and Gen Z are especially likely to be on board - about two-thirds expect to do so, compared to about half of older adults. Women are also more likely than men to say they will set a goal for 2025.

Younger Americans are more likely to make a resolution. Most of them seem to prioritize more sleep, meditation and breathing exercises. Many others agree. About 3 in 10 adults choose resolutions involving exercise or eating healthier. About one-quarter said they'll make a resolution involving losing weight and a similar number said they'll resolve to make changes about priorities of money or mental health and self-care.

Many youths' resolutions are to stay social and active and are preferring more goal-oriented resolutions.


Meanwhile, if you're planning on ringing in the new year quietly at home, you're not alone. A majority of US adults intend to celebrate New Year's Eve at home, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Centre for Public Affairs Research.

Nearly 2 in 10 will be celebrating at a friend or family member's home, and just 5 per cent plan to go out to celebrate at a bar, restaurant or organized event, the poll found.

But many US adults will celebrate the new year in a different way - by making a resolution. More than half say they'll make at least one resolution for 2025.

There's some optimism about the year ahead, although more than half aren't expecting a positive change. About 4 in 10 say 2025 will be a better year for them personally. About one-third don't expect much of a difference between 2024 and 2025, and about one-quarter think 2025 will be a worse year than 2024.
