Dismiss Happy New Year notification from unknown sender

Does anyone know how to get the happy new year notification to go away. The message to me is particularly disturbing as it contained identifiers on who the message was sent to but the sender is not identified.

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 10

IF it is a group message, you can hide the alerts. Open the thread click at the top icon - maybe info - enable hide alerts.
