For some it is the biggest night of the year and to usher in 2013, Jay-Z invited some of his famous friends on stage and racks up a $250,000 bar tab.
The 43-year-old was performing Barclays Center in Brooklyn when he asked Gwyneth Paltrow up on to the stage.
The rapper took to the stage during Coldplay's New Year's Eve gig and at the stroke of midnight the actress brought out Apple and Moses to dance on stage with their father Chris Martin.
Was your NYE celebration eventful?
