At the New Year, all our family got sick with a fever and our plans were ruined."
"At the New Year," would initially mean on New Year's Eve (31st December) or New Year's Day (1st January). "All our family," will include each member of your family (parents and children). The number of people involved is not stated and is not important for the meaning of the statement, as "all" covers the entire family. "With a fever," shows what illness each member of the family caught. "And our plans were ruined," further shows that there was a consequence to all the family being ill, as what you planned did not happen.
"At the New Year" は、大晦日または元日からの数日間をいいます。
"All our family" には家族全員(親と子)が含まれます。何人が参加するかは重要な情報ではないので伝えていません、"All" が家族全員を指すからです。
"With a fever"(発熱で)は、家族全員が何の病気にかかったかを伝えます。
"And our plans were ruined"(計画が台無しになった)は、家族全員が病気になった結果何が起きたか(予定していたことができなかった)を伝えます。

Unfortunately, our whole family got sick over New Year's, so we had to cancel our plans. / Due to my whole family becoming sick over New Year's, we had to cancel all of our plans. - These sentences can be used to express that your family became sick during New Year's, and you and your family had to cancel plans because of this. In this sentence "Due" means "because".
Example: "Due" to the rain, we had to play basketball inside. = Because of the rain, we had to play basketball inside.

My whole family came down with something on New Year's, and we missed out on our plans.

To "come down with something" or "catch a bug" are other terms used to say that one is sick.
The expression "missed out" in this context means that they didn't get to have the experience that was expected due to unforeseen circumstances.
"Whole family" or "entire family" can be used to express that everyone living in the household was involved. These terms may also include extended family members who are not living in the household, but in this case, that usually would not be mistaken because of the context of the statement.
"come down with something" または "catch a bug" は 'get sick'(病気になる)の別の言い方です。
"missed out" はここでは「予期せぬ出来事によって、できなくなった」という意味です。
"whole family" と "entire family" は同じ家に住む家族全員を指します。これらの表現は一緒に住んでいない近親者も含む場合があります。ただ、ここでは文脈からそのように誤解されることはないでしょう。
