Raised high at midnight with champagne in hand, I can warm up your morning breakfast or honor a special friend across the land. What am I?
A toast
The wordplay relies on the homonym toast, which means both browned bread prepared for breakfast and a short tribute speech accompanied by a raised drink. The mention of midnight champagne establishes the New Year theme, while the breakfast clue completes the puzzle.
