New Year's Eve feeling

How do you bring over the feeling of the last day before the last day? So day 30 of December. Not New Year's Eve but the day before.
Google translate gave me as answer "New Year's Eve feeling", but that is in my opinion the last day evening before New Year.
The day before that much people are making tasty food for New Year's Eve. In the Netherlands, the oliebol, apple fritter, waffles, and berlinerbollen are traditional for New Year's Eve. So the feeling could be when you are baking those snacks.
