About this kit

The turn of the year gives an account two very different posts within a few days of each other. Before midnight it is a countdown, a party or a toast; a week later it is a look back at the year and a fresh start for January, such as a new class timetable, a new menu or a reopening after the break. This kit covers both halves. The countdown set marks the last hours, the toasts set carries a celebration or an event, the year-in-review set suits a recap of real numbers and moments, and the fresh-start set fits a January launch or a return to normal hours. A recap is worth more when it names real moments, so pair these emoji with what actually happened rather than a general line about a great year.

Using these emoji well

  • Screen readers speak each emoji by name, such as "fireworks" or "clinking glasses", so keep the venue, the time and the ticket details in words.
  • A year-in-review post is worth reading when it lists real moments and numbers; pair πŸ“Έ or πŸ“ˆ with the actual detail rather than a general line.
  • If an event serves drinks, say what else is on offer too, such as food, music or an alcohol-free toast, so everyone can see a place for themselves.
