Days Until New Year's Day

New Year's Day is January 1. This countdown runs to midnight at the start of that day in the time zone your device uses, so it shows your own local moment of the new year.

Different places reach midnight at different times, because the world is split into time zones. If you are celebrating with friends or family somewhere else, the time zone converter shows what the time will be for them when your clock strikes midnight.

Ideas for the last week of the year

• Look back on the year and write down what went well.
• Choose one or two realistic goals rather than a long list.
• Book a table or plan the food for the celebration in advance.
• Arrange safe transport home if you are going out.

The timer counts down to midnight at the start of the day, using the time zone set on your device. Days are counted by calendar date, so the total stays right across daylight saving changes. On the day itself the page tells you it is here, and afterwards it counts down to next year.
