About New Year's Day
New Year's Day marks the first day of the Gregorian calendar year and is a public holiday in most of the world. The moment is celebrated locally, so midnight sweeps across the globe timezone by timezone, beginning in the Pacific and ending nearly a full day later.
The countdown on this page tracks midnight UTC. If you are watching from another timezone your own celebration will land earlier or later than the timer above.
