Hi, looking for some advice.
I am doing a full day mini adventure for Christmas.
Not sure what level to start everyone at, I was thinking between level 5 - 9 but thinking level 7.
As we may have a couple new people for this that won't be great at leveling up.
Thanks.
With newer folks, I'd actually start at level 3 or
4 if you aren't starting at 1 - the higher you go in level, the more class abilities accumulate, and it can lead to a lot of options paralysis for someone learning the system from scratch. Level 3 or 4 is high enough that you have some survivability and can start bringing in slightly more interesting foes, but low enough that you aren't going to overwhelm someone unfamiliar with the system or the premise of tabletop gaming.

Fair point, but most of the day will be with people who have played for years. Plus I have some fun different monsters for them. SO wanted to make sure they can have some abilities to mess around with.
As for the newbies I have introduced them to this before but this will be a full day as one level.
