Unfortunately, in addition to this Christmas, the coronavirus pandemic will also stamp its mark on New Year’s Eve. As the restrictions in Hungary will remain in effect on the last day of the year as well, it is likely that instead of a crowded party, most people will say goodbye to 2020 at home, together only with their close family members. As saddening as it may sound to some, barely a few decades ago it wasn’t uncommon for people to stay home on New Year’s Eve, listening to the radio or watching TV all night. So we decided to collect photos that enable us to catch a glimpse into what the traditional New Year’s Eve TV and radio cabarets and other shows looked like.
