When The New Year Begins Across The Globe

Duck, Duck, PIN!

New Year’s celebrations can be complicated, and those complications have nothing to do with punch bowls or party hats. According to TimeandDate.com, the world has more than 24 time zones. But things are more complex than that because the International Date Line creates three more, and not all time zones are an hour apart. As a result, it will take 26 hours for the new year to encompass all time zones. The following rundown shows when the new year will be celebrated in various areas across the globe and what time it will be in New York when revelers in those countries are officially ringing in the New Year.

New York is on the Eastern Time Zone just as a piece of info.
