Aussie stars share how they're ringing in the new year: 'I'll be lucky to make it to 10pm'

Reflecting on the year that has been, 2022 could not come sooner.

Regardless of your celebration plans, this year will be one to remember — for better or worse.

As we bid farewell to 2020, we chat to some beloved Aussie media and TV personalities to see how they are planning to ring in the new year.

Darren Palmer, The Block judge

"As middle-aged dudes we are lucky to get to see midnight. I think the last few years we've been in bed asleep by 11."

Livinia Nixon, 9News Melbourne presenter

"We'll be camping at a friend's farm in NSW — lots of prawns, champagne and laughs."

Lauren Phillips, radio presenter

"We'll be at our house in Byron Bay having a big BBQ with friends by the pool."

Monty Dimond, KIIS FM Host

"Wild, wild, crazy, wild, crazy plans this year. After a year of sleepless nights with a baby, I'll be lucky to make it until 10pm. In fact, I'll be rapt if I make it until then."

Allison Langdon, Today presenter

"New Years Eve?! Can we get through Christmas first! Things just feel a little uncertain still so we'll just be having a quiet New Years at home with the kids and some friends and their kids, and a lazy afternoon. No doubt I'll be in bed at around 9pm!"

Sami Lukis, 9Honey columnist

"Frustratingly, it will be the second year of not being in New York, hosting one of my 'New York with Sami' New Year's Eve tours.

"I'm hopeful it will be safe for us all to be in Times Square watching the ball drop again in 2022/23."

Neale Whitaker, The Block judge

"None — and that's the way we like it. Hopefully it will be just David, me and our four dogs on the verandah with a bottle or two of bubbles and some delicious food."

Sarah Abo, 60 Minutes presenter

"Usually low-key — and mainly because in the media you're generally always working around NYE! But it will always involve a bottle of bubbly."

Scotty Cam, The Block host

"Stay at home with a few friends, very quiet."

Shelly Horton, 9Honey presenter

"I have a friend Joanna Hunkin and December 31 is her actual birthday (how much would that suck?). So, we are going out for an early birthday dinner for her on the Gold Coast, walking home (anything to avoid Ubers on NYE), then taking all of our dogs to the beach to watch the fireworks (yes, we'll have leads on them in case they get scared — the husbands as well as the dogs)."

Tracy Vo, 9News Perth presenter

"A lovely dinner by the coast and then back home before midnight strikes."

Shane Crawford, 9 presenter

"No New Year plans, just [want to] survive Christmas first."
