Make sure you get your Red, Yellow, Blue and Green party hats @ Redd. Each town sells only 2 colours.

Sadly there don't seem to be "new year's noodles" for EU versions. I got a Tweeter though.
If you wish to see the final seconds pass away in-game, and also want to celebrate in real life, change your DS clock according to this thread and your game should be fine.
