Midnight Quack: The Keeper of New Year’s Dreams — In the quiet town of Duckling Hollow, where every rubber duck proudly floated on ponds or perched on bathtubs, one duck stood out—a mysterious figure wrapped in the allure of the midnight hour.
Midnight Quack

Midnight Quack was his name, a sleek black rubber duck emblazoned with a gleaming white “2025” on his chest. He wasn’t just any rubber duck; he was the embodiment of every hope and promise whispered into the dark of New Year’s Eve.
Midnight’s Starry Glow
Unlike his cheerful, pastel-colored cousins, Midnight Quack loved the darkest of nights. He relished the quiet mystery of midnight, the way shadows deepened and stars whispered secrets from above. To him, there was something magical about the cusp of a new day—and an even greater enchantment when that cusp belonged to a new year.
He was known to appear on New Year’s Eve at the most unexpected times. Some would find him quietly bobbing in a moonlit pond, where the reflection of the stars danced on his glossy black surface. Others discovered him perched by their window, a silent companion as they watched the countdown, his “2025” glowing faintly like a beacon of hope.
Keeper of New Year’s Wishes
Midnight Quack had a gift—a deep, almost supernatural connection to the dreams people made as the clock struck twelve. If you ever shared a heartfelt resolution or a whispered hope into the stillness of the night, Midnight Quack was there to catch it. Each year, his “2025” emblem served as a promise—not just a date, but a reminder of the fresh opportunities that lay ahead.
On one fateful New Year’s Eve, a little boy named Theo stumbled upon Midnight Quack by the frozen creek near his home. Theo had been feeling the weight of the year gone by; his family had moved, he’d struggled to make new friends, and the idea of another school year was overwhelming. As he held Midnight Quack in his hands, he whispered his wish, “I want to be brave enough to find joy this year.”
Midnight’s Legacy
By the end of the year, Midnight Quack disappeared as quietly as he had arrived. He always did. It was said that he returned to his hidden sanctuary—perhaps a cavern lit only by starlight or the hollow of an ancient tree. Midnight Quack had a mission, after all. With the turning of each calendar page, he would awaken to carry the hopes and dreams of others into the next year.
If you ever spot a matte black duck with “2025” shining proudly on his chest, don’t be afraid to share your own midnight wish. Midnight Quack is always listening, a quiet champion of fresh starts and the magic of the darkest hours.
Got this duck from Temu. It came with duplicates so I can duck Jeeps.
