When is New Year?
New Year's Day is fixed on January 1 in the Gregorian calendar used by most of the world.
The countdown to midnight on December 31 and the celebration of January 1 are among the most universally observed moments on the calendar, crossing nearly every culture and time zone.
Because the world spans many time zones, the New Year is welcomed first in the Pacific (Kiribati, then New Zealand) and last in places like Baker Island, almost a full day later.
New Year traditions and resolutions
New Year’s Day is a US federal holiday and a public holiday across most of the world. It is traditionally a time to make resolutions for the year ahead — a custom with roots stretching back to the ancient Babylonians and Romans.
Food and customs differ by region: black-eyed peas and greens in the American South, twelve grapes at midnight in Spain, soba noodles in Japan, and “first-footing” in Scotland. In the US, the Rose Parade and college football bowl games are fixtures of January 1.
