New Year 2027 countdown
This page counts down to January 1, 2027, updated every second. Same countdown you know from the Christmas page, just pointed at a different date.
New Year traditions
In most Western countries, it's fireworks and champagne at midnight. Spain has the twelve grapes tradition: you eat one grape per bell strike at midnight for good luck. In Japan, temple bells ring 108 times on New Year's Eve. And in Brazil, people wear white for a fresh start.
New Year resolutions
The tradition of making resolutions goes back centuries, but sticking to them is another story. Most people set goals around health, learning, or spending more time with family. Whether they last past February is the real question.
