About New Year's Day
New Year's Day is January 1, the first day of the Gregorian calendar year and a public holiday in nearly every country. Because time zones wrap around the globe, the new year arrives first in Kiribati and Samoa (UTC+14) and last on Baker Island (UTC-12), about 26 hours later. This countdown runs to midnight in your own time zone.
How this countdown works
The target is the next occurrence of New Year's Day from today, computed with the IANA time zone database so the date is right even across daylight saving changes. The clock counts down to midnight at the start of that day in your own time zone, and once the day passes it rolls forward to the following year automatically. Need a different moment? Build a custom countdown to any date and time.
