It will surely rise but don't expect it to be that profitable because there is a probability of it rising a little but it won't last long. It would be more profitable to invest to other alts rather than investing into dogecoin now. It also ain't being developed further so it won't possibly pump much again. New year somehow will only generate a little hype into it since it is the year of the dog like you say, and some people will think of buying doge because of it. It will temporarily affect price though and will soon wear out.
