Kids can ring in 2018 early in the day and take part in their own parade at the Noon-Time New Year's Eve celebration at Whole Foods in Town and Country.
Kids will parade around the store with noisemakers, then kids will be served three healthy snacks to kick off the new year in a healthy way.
Little revelers will also make a craft, and watch the sparkly New Year's Eve ball drop and toast to 2018 with fruit juice. The celebration begins at 11 a.m. and it's free.
