How often does a blue moon occur on New Years' Eve?
The term "Blue Moon" refers to the second full moon in any single month, so.. if you have a full moon on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd (in months with 31 days) you will have a "blue moon" 28 days later. The event itself is a rarity, thus the phase "once in a blue moon". Blue moons happen approximately every 2.5 years. The last New Year's Eve blue moon was in 1990. The next will be in 2028. Fortunately for New Year's Eve revelers, full moons are also known for stirring up emotions and sparking wild revelry. So be sure to look up and raise your glass as you ring in 2010.

A blue moon is a full moon that is not timed to the regular monthly pattern.

The extra days accumulate, so that every two or three years (on average about every 2.7154 years) there is an extra full moon. The extra moon is called a "blue moon."

Does the blue moon refer to a blue colored moon?
No, a "blue moon" is the second full moon in a single calendar month. On occasion the moon will rise with a slightly blueish or even lavender cast to it, but they are even rarer than the traditional "blue moon." On an additional note, the second new moon in a single calendar month is called a "black moon" and is similarly rare.
Is it possible to have a blue moon and a solar eclipse at the same time?
No. A blue moon happens when there is a second full moon. A solar eclipse happens when there is a new moon and it is right between the sun and the earth. But it is possible to have a blue moon and a lunar eclipse at the same time.
