On the night of January 13–14, 2025 you can make a wish again — simply copy the warm words below and send them to those you hold dear.

      For family (the most heartfelt)

       My dears, Happy Old New Year! May our home always be filled with the same warmth, coziness and mutual understanding as on this magical night. I love you more than anything in the world!

       Dear Mom and Dad! The Old New Year is another reason to say how grateful I am for your support and love. I wish you health, high spirits and quiet happiness all year long.

       Grandma, Grandpa, happy holidays! Thank you for your wisdom and the tales by the stove (or by the TV!). We wish you strong health, comfort and the attention of loved ones. You are our history and our support.

      For your significant other (the most tender)

       Darling, Happy Old New Year! Our love is the greatest miracle in my life. May this year bring us even more shared joys, trips and quiet happy evenings together. I adore you!

       The Old New Year is time for a second wish. Mine remains the same: that you would always be by my side. Thank you for every day with you. Love.

       My dearest person, happy holidays! May the magic of this night prolong our New Year mood, and may the whole year be as warm and bright as your eyes by candlelight.

      For friends (light and fun)

       Friends, Happy Old New Year! Hooray, we have an excuse to get together again! I wish that all the plans penciled in for “Monday” finally come true, and that the Olivier salad in the fridge never runs out.

       Here’s a second attempt to make a wish! The Old New Year is our chance. I wish you this year to drop everything that doesn’t make you happy and to catch by the tail everything that will make you happier. Cheers to you!

       Happy holidays, gang! May this year bring more reasons to meet up, and may your endeavors have luck like a New Year’s toast: succeed on the first try and in full!

      For colleagues (respectful and warm)

       Dear colleagues, Happy Old New Year! May this year bring our team new professional victories, stability and mutual understanding. I wish everyone health and personal well-being!

       Colleagues, happy holidays! May work tasks be solved as easily as the last tangerines are found under the tree. I wish you energy, fresh ideas and an excellent work-life balance!

       Dear staff! The Old New Year is a symbol of good traditions. Thank you for your coordinated work and dedication. I wish the new year to be a time of growth and achievement for you!

      Universal (short SMS)

       Happy Old New Year! May the magic of the holiday grant that one, main wish.

       One more chance to say “Happy New Year!”. May it be happy, bright and generous with goodness.

       Happy holidays! I wish the whole year to be as warm and full of hope as this night.

       Don’t miss the second chance to say “Happy New Year!” — just copy the greeting you like and send it to those you want to share a bit of winter magic with. It will take a minute and be remembered for a long time!
