Introduction
As 2023 fades into the sunset, it’s time to start planning for the fresh possibilities of 2024! And what better way to celebrate than with a little Python magic? Forget store-bought cards and generic greetings – let’s code our own Happy New Year wishes, adding a touch of techy creativity to the occasion. In this tutorial, you will learn How you can wish Happy New Year 2024 in Python.
We will create two Python programs here. The first one will continuously print Happy New Year 2024 message with random celebrating icons on the terminal or command prompt. The second program will print fascinating colourful ASCII text messages: “Happy New Year”, “2024” same way as the first one.
So, are you ready to witness the power of Python? This coding journey will transform your New Year’s wishes into masterpieces.
The First Program
The first program is pretty simple and requires no additional installations. Just run the script, and watch your terminal erupt with a festive shower of Happy New Year 2024 wishes. It’s like throwing a digital confetti party, but with way less cleanup.
Need to cool down the party? No problem. Just tap that ctrl+C combo to break the loop of the program.
Code
import timefrom random import randintfor i in range(1,85): print('')space = ''for i in range(1,1000): count = randint(1, 100) while(count > 0): space += ' ' count -= 1 if(i%10==0): print(space + 'Happy New Year 2024🎉') elif(i%9 == 0): print(space + "🪅") elif(i%5==0): print(space +"🎈") elif(i%8==0): print(space + "🎈") elif(i%7==0): print(space + "🍁") elif(i%6==0): print(space + "❤️") else: print(space + "🔸") space = '' time.sleep(0.2)Output
How the program works?
The basic idea behind this program is to manipulate random numbers. Let’s break down how it works.
In the program, I’ve set up a for loop for integer numbers ranging from 1 to 85, but it doesn’t print anything. Then, there’s another for loop with numbers ranging from 1 to 1000. In each iteration, the program generates a random number between 1 and 100, storing it in the count variable. The program then prints spaces until the count variable reaches zero.
Following that, the program prints emojis, text, or both based on the modulus result (if i % number equals zero, where ‘number’ is 10, 9, 8, 7, or 6). Finally, for each iteration, the program introduces a delay of 0.2 seconds.
The Second Program
Remember how we displayed “Happy New Year 2024” in the terminal before? This time, let’s make it shine! Instead of plain text, we’ll use Python’s pyfiglet and termcolor modules to create a colourful ASCII masterpiece.

These fancy tools aren’t built-in, so we’ll need to install them first. Ready to get started?
Requirements and Installations
Time to add some sparkle! Install pyfiglet and termcolor with these commands:
- pyfiglet: pip install pyfiglet
- termcolor: pip install termcolor
Download `fonts.txt` file
The program picks a surprise font (from 419 options) and color for your Happy New Year wishes. Instead of listing hundreds of fonts in the code, I saved them in a separate file you can download below. Just click the button, and the program will use that file to choose the perfect font and color for your next message!

Remember, the program needs the “fonts.txt” file to be in the same folder as the program file.
Code
Want to make your New Year’s wish extra special? Just type the person’s name in the “message” variable!

Summary
In this article, we explored the idea of wishing someone Happy New Year 2024 in Python. Here, we create two Python programs that’ll make your New Year wishes sparkle!
The first program uses loops and random numbers to print fun birthday messages with emojis and text. The second program uses the ‘pyfiglet’ and ‘termcolor’ modules to display a vibrant Birthday Message with the person’s name in ASCII text form on the Terminal or Command Prompt.
