To send surprise messages to loved ones on New Year's Eve, you can use Twilio SMS scheduling through a console application. To start, set up your Twilio account with an account SID and auth token, buy a phone number, create a messaging service, and configure it for sending scheduled messages. Then, create a .NET console project, add the Twilio library, and load your configuration from user secrets. Finally, schedule three messages to be sent at specific times using the `MessageResource.Create` method, and run the project to send the surprise messages.
