Start off your New Year's Eve dinner with a bang by serving these mouth-watering bacon-wrapped scallops. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each bacon strip in half and wrap each piece around a scallop. Secure with a toothpick and place on the baking sheet.

The Main Course: Herb-Crusted Beef Tenderloin

Ingredients:

• 1 (4-5 pound) beef tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the main course, treat your guests to a decadent and flavorful herb-crusted beef tenderloin. Preheat your oven to 425°F and place the beef tenderloin on a roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread the mixture evenly over the tenderloin. Roast for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare. Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

The Dessert: Champagne Cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 1 box white cake mix
• 1 cup champagne
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup champagne

End your New Year's Eve dinner on a sweet note with these delicious and festive champagne cupcakes. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Pour the batter into the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

To make the frosting, beat the softened butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and champagne, beating until smooth. Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes and top with gold sprinkles for a sparkling and celebratory touch.
