at new year / on new year's eve | WordReference Forums
Oct 15, 2013 · Hello, I have difficulty understanding some prepositions of time like at and on in these examples: AT New Year ON New Year's Eve. I think for "on New Year's Eve" the preposition is ON because it solely refers to the night when we celebrate the end of the year, the bells ring, we kiss and party...

happy new year <to / for> you | WordReference Forums
Jan 8, 2015 · Neither are used. It is possible in a certain context to say "a happy new year for you". E.g., if someone says, "I hope it will be a happy new year for you." the reply could be, "I hope it will be a happy new year for you too." This is not at all typical of its use.
Turn of the year - WordReference Forums
Dec 21, 2017 · Turn of the year does not refer to a specific time like New Year's Eve, but a much more general period of time which could, depending on context, cover several weeks. What you probably want is (the) New Year, referring to New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and possibly a day or two either side.
<on/at> New Year's Eve - WordReference Forums
Nov 17, 2016 · Which preposition should I use? <On/at> New Year's Eve. For example, in the following sentences: In China, people have a custom to stay up <at> the New Year's Eve until midnight. I think this is why people have the custom of having dumplings <on> New Year’s Eve. I'm not sure whether they are correct and I don't know when to use which. Thank you!
A happy new year / Happy new year - WordReference Forums
Apr 19, 2012 · An acquaintance of mine, Irish, said, "A happy new year" and "Happy new year" are both used, and the former is used for expressing festive mood. But I'm not so sure. Of course I know "A happy new year" used on its own is grammatically mistaken (Greeting words don't have an indefinite article.)

All the best to / in / for the New Year! | WordReference Forums
Jan 8, 2014 · The topic is sending wishes to people on the occasion of the beginning of a new year, the coming year, the 'New Year'. I do use capitals in this context. It is 'next year', but it's unusual to hear best wishes for 'next year'. (I agree about 'the next year' being wrong in BrE) 'All the best' is a formula and is short for 'all the best (to you ...

Happy New Year! Have a good one. | WordReference Forums
Dec 30, 2017 · Does "Happy New Year" mean "have a happy New Year's holiday" or does it mean "Have a happy year next year"? When it is said on New Year's Eve, it means "have a happy next year" (though usually it has less meaning: it is just an exclamation of good wishes). Like post #4, I have not heard this combination of sentences. The "one" in "Have a good one."
