Can you feel it? Can you feel the New Year’s celebrations already?! When you think of this night, you think of getting into conversations with the family, feasting on great food, watching the fireworks in the skies, and, of course, getting your share of the booze. For others, this is a time to reflect and ponder on what their New Year’s resolution will be.
But, before you put your game face on for another wave of challenges this 2025, why don’t you spend your New Year’s Eve and make it unforgettable with one of these amazing New Year events in Manila.
NE-YO Is Back In Manila To Celebrate The New Year With You At The Solaire!

The MetroLinks team previously featured the phenomenal NE-YO concert “Champagne and Roses Tour” that happened at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. For whatever reason – does NE-YO love Manila so much? – the American R&B singer will be back in the city, but this time for a special New Year’s Eve celebration at the newly-launched Solaire Resort North near the Ayala Malls Trinoma.
NE-YO is the perfect headliner for this party at such a luxurious hotel, especially since he has already graced another party, his post-concert party, here as well. The event will also feature NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” 2023 finalist, the Japanese act Avantgardey.
Grace An OPM New Year’s Eve Party At Okada Manila

Even if Solaire Resort North is around an hour away from Okada Manila, also a star accommodation in the metro, the latter is surely fuming and must top what Solaire has to offer. Can it, can it? Well, for Okada Manila, they’re bringing you back to your roots with a New Year’s Eve party featuring OPM performances and more.
Titled “Bright Beginnings to 2025,” this event will feature your favorite Filipino singers, such as Lani Misalucha, Jona, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Darren Espanto, and so much more. Okada is going head-to-head with Solaire, so be sure to get your tickets now.
BINI Leads The Countdown To 2025 At The Newport World Resorts

You can’t get enough of BINI and you shouldn’t. The nation’s girl group, inspired by your favorite K-Pop girls like TWICE and BLACKPINK, did quite a lot this year. They starred in promotions and marketing for Jollibee, Coca-Cola Philippines, Modess, and so much more, challenging the endorsements of Kris Aquino and Maine Mendoza, and BINI must be very tired. So, as a way to give them thanks for the entertainment, why don’t you take part in their New Year’s celebration show at the Newport World Resorts in Pasay?
“The Grand Countdown to 2025” starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Marriott Grand Ballroom, but be sure to leave your homes earlier, especially if you’re coming from the north, to catch this once-in-a-year event. Also part of the show are singing comedienne Angeline Quinto and Bamboo. After the show, take this chance and get your table at the Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill, which the MetroLinks team also featured before, unless you’d want to brave road traffic for some other time.
New Year’s Countdown Party At The Bellevue Manila

Now, if you want the experience of a New Year’s Eve party beyond the usual get-togethers at home or in the province, but without celebrities, check out the 2025 New Year’s Eve Countdown Party at The Bellevue Manila where you’ll be treated to live music spectacles, cocktail and buffet, and just the good vibes with a 360-view of the surrounding city. The Bellevue Manila is a luxurious hotel in the Alabang area.
Wear Your Most Elegant At A New Year’s Eve Gala In The Peninsula Manila

Alright, are the celebrity performances and loud live music not enticing you, and prefer to be more prim and proper as you countdown to the New Year? It’s not partying and stage acts at The Peninsula Manila this New Year’s Eve, but a gala dinner where you can showcase your inner fashionista, maybe feeling the Masquerade in “The Phantom of the Opera,” the ball where Cinderella met Prince Charming, or the party organized by Fiyero at the Ozdust Ballroom in “Wicked.” Yes, there’s a dress code for this event and it is “Elegant.” The Peninsula is a hotel chain with locations in China, Japan, the United States, France, and more.
New Year, Street Party-Style Along Makati-Ayala Avenue

Most of those events you saw above require you to purchase tickets to get admitted, and the prices are not cheap. It’s like organizing a complete New Year’s Eve dinner with a family of 20, maybe? Or, perhaps it’s an exaggeration. Nevertheless, you can experience the New Year’s Eve countdown uniquely by heading at the Makati-Ayala Avenue for a street style party. Though there is less glitz and glamour here, you’ll be treated to an equally unforgettable night. So far, the official lineup of performances is not yet revealed. All there’s known is that there’ll be OPM trendsetters, rock royalty, and some more. Stay tuned!
GMA Network’s New Year 2025 Countdown

There isn’t an official venue yet unveiled so far, but many of their countdown parties in the previous years were held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. While you can watch the event at home on your TV or on YouTube, you can still head over to the official venue and see your favorite celebrities in person. Like the New Year’s Eve celebrations in New York City, Thailand, and other big cities in the world, this event by the country’s leading TV network, now that ABS-CBN has laid low for now, will feature fireworks, dancing, singing, and more.
Sadly, you just need to choose one of these events. It’s highly impossible to be in two places at once, since everything is for the New Year 2025. These gatherings are the perfect opportunity to change the way you welcome the New Year, if you’re used to celebrating it with your family at home or in the province. Cheers to 2025 from MetroLinks!
