Often people refer to New Year's Eve simply as "New Year's," with "New Year's Day" being the distinction for the day after December 31st. When you start a sentence with "For New Year's" people usually assume you're referring to how you plan to celebrate the New Year's Eve.

If a TV show is well-known, often people refer to it either by just its name, or its name + show. For for example, "I watched a whole season of Breaking Bad last night," versus "I watched a whole season of the Jimmy O'Fallon show last night." In the second example sentence, I assumed the name of the TV show was not well-known. Hence why I wrote "the Kahaku Uta Gassen show." But if everyone knows the name of the show, you can leave 'the + show' out of your sentence, like in example sentence 3.
