So, you’ve decided to go all-American and host your very own Super Bowl \/ Bad Bunny viewing party.<\/p>\n

This is particularly brave if you’re in Ireland and have any plans to attend work the next day, as the game kicks off around 11:30pm Irish time and could go into the wee hours.<\/p>\n

However, fortune favours the bold, so we’ve put together a handy menu to keep the party going.<\/p>\n

\"Super<\/p>\n

When and where<\/p>\n

Super Bowl LX is scheduled to take place on Sunday, 8 February, at the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The New England Patriots will play the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n

The game – and hotly-anticipated half-time show from Bad Bunny – will reportedly be broadcast on Virgin Media and Sky Sports in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Kick-off should take place at 11:30pm GMT with a typical broadcast lasting almost four hours.<\/p>\n

Pick your party theme<\/p>\n

If you’re planning a sporting shindig, the theme of the night is unashamedly football-centric. When it comes to decorating your house, we strongly advise going as tacky as possible.<\/p>\n

We’re talking anything and everything American football-themed \u2013 subtlety is not the name of the game here. Invest in some jerseys and flags or make your own signs, t-shirts, cake toppers, and centrepieces. All things are possible if you’re crafty enough.<\/p>\n

If you’re feeling particularly extra – and want some content for the ‘gram – decorate yourself with make-up, merchandise or even some inventive nail art.<\/p>\n

Gnacks, snacks & more snacks<\/p>\n

Super Bowl Sunday is essentially a free pass to load up on all the food that you love but perhaps shouldn’t eat every day.<\/p>\n

Central to any good party is a solid selection of chips and dips<\/a>, but if you want to go the extra mile, be sure to load up on the classics: nachos, chicken wings, sliders, and some delicious apple pie.<\/p>\n

We recommend:<\/p>\n

Joe Wicks’ sweet potato nachos with refried beans<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Smoked Bacon & Mustard Mac & Cheese<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chipotle Beef Crunchy Tacos<\/a><\/p>\n

\"rte\"<\/p>\n

Sriracha & Honey Chicken Wings<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Donal Skehan’s sloppy Joe sliders<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brush up on your conversational skills<\/p>\n

To get the tunes going, head over to the NFL’s official YouTube channel to watch the best half-time shows; we recommend Katy Perry feat. Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliot (2015); Coldplay feat. Beyonce and Bruno Mars (2016); Aerosmith, *NSYNC and Britney Spears (2001); and the iconic performance of Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent (2022).<\/p>\n
