70 Cute New Year’s Wishes to Send to All Your Contacts on January 1

I don’t know about you, but I’m still processing 2019, so it's kind of hard to comprehend that we’re about to enter 2026. Mentally, I’m still rotting while watching the Fyre Festival documentaries and blasting every song from Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next album on repeat. What is time?

Regardless, December 2025 is coming to an end, which means it’s officially time to start getting mentally prepared to close out this year. While you may be busy getting ready for all things New Year’s Eve, don’t forget to prep a few “Happy New Year” messages and wishes too. Because let’s be real: You probably shouldn’t decide what you’re going to text your friends, family, colleagues, and (sigh) ex after you’ve started guzzling the champagne, right?

Conjuring up a few witty wishes can be hard, and I get that. Good thing I’d never leave you hanging! Scroll down and you’ll see that this here list has actually good, actually clever New Year’s wishes suitable for everyone from your partner to your group chat to your best friend’s cousin’s mom. Whoever you’re sending good vibes to, these short and sweet New Year’s wishes are all set and ready to go.
