New Year around the world
New Year’s Day is 1 January in the Gregorian calendar used by most of the world. Because of time zones, Kiribati (UTC+14) celebrates first and remote Baker Island (UTC−12) last, a full 26 hours later.
Other new years follow different calendars: Chinese New Year (late January or February), Nowruz (around 20 March), and the Islamic new year, which moves about 11 days earlier each year. Find your animal with the Chinese zodiac chart.
