As we turn the page of another year into a new one, we are grateful. Mighty grateful. And, as the clock strikes midnight and the confetti settles, we Texans welcome the new year in true Lone Star style—brimming with optimism, a dash of sass, and a whole lot of heart. This year, let us raise our glasses high (whether it’s champagne, fine Texas bourbon, or your favorite bubbly water) to celebrate the past and embrace the year ahead with the tenacity and warmth that only we Texans can muster.
In 2024, we shared more than just great meals and memories; we shared a sense of resilience and pride in our communities. And now, as we step into 2025, we carry forward the lessons learned, the friendships strengthened, and the dreams we dared to chase. It’s a time to honor all we’ve achieved, both big and small, and set our sights on a year that promises even more.
With the dawn of a fresh year, Texans know it’s more than just about making new resolutions. It’s a chance to do what we do best—dream big and live even bigger. For those of us in the Lone Star State, that might mean supporting Texas-born businesses, giving back to local causes, or just gathering with friends and family to share laughter that echoes through the night. Because in Texas, the good life is one shared, celebrated, and filled with purpose.
Let’s make 2025 the year we double down on our aspirations and our gratitude. The year we continue to support one another, from the entrepreneurial spirit of Austin to the bustling energy of Dallas, the rich traditions of San Antonio, and the warmth of our Gulf Coast and Houston leading its way. We’ve got a big year ahead, filled with opportunity—and yes, a few wild adventures that we will be sharing with you, as always, as your trusted Texas insiders.
So, here’s to another remarkable year in the great state of Texas. May 2025 bring you joy, prosperity, and a few unforgettable nights under our vast Texas sky. May each of us find a little more time to revel in the simple pleasures, from impromptu dance floors to quiet fireside conversations, and every sunlit morning that reminds us why we’re lucky enough to call Texas home.
Happy New Year, y’all, and cheers to making 2025 your very best year ever.
