When does the New Year arrive?
The New Year reaches the Pacific island nation of Kiribati first, and some remote US islands last. In North America, Newfoundland celebrates first, then Atlantic and Eastern time. The famous ball drop in New York's Times Square happens at midnight Eastern, a tradition dating back to 1907. People in Pacific time see it on TV at 9 p.m.
New Year's Eve ideas
- Book restaurants and parties early, as they fill up fast.
- Plan a safe ride home, since ride-share prices spike after midnight.
- Families with young kids can celebrate the Eastern-time ball drop early.
- Write down three goals for the year ahead before the clock strikes twelve.
