New Year is celebrated in Finland on December 31st through January 1st according to ancient Finnish tradition. Many Finns spend the evening with family and friends attending parties or watching fireworks at home. An important New Year festival is one celebrating snow and ice sculptures that draws thousands to admire realistic ice structures, including an ice hotel where food and drinks are served on plates and glasses made of ice. The New Year's table includes traditional dishes like boiled codfish and roast suckling pig along with allspice and boiled potatoes. Work resumes on January 2nd in Finland.
