Holiday countdown

Countdown to the new year

Open a live countdown to the next January 1 at midnight local time — perfect for New Year’s Eve parties, classrooms, or a big-screen display.

After the ball drops, the tool advances to the following January 1. Use the holiday list for Christmas, Halloween, and more, or set any custom datetime on the hub.

  1. 01

    Start the New Year countdown

    The dial shows days, hours, minutes, and seconds until January 1, 00:00 local time. Fullscreen keeps digits readable across the room.

  2. 02

    Use Present mode on New Year’s Eve

    Tap Present for a clean stage — ideal for a TV, projector, or party wall while guests wait for midnight.

  3. 03

    Share one link for every timezone guest

    Copy the URL so friends see the same January 1 target. Each device uses its own local midnight; mention that if your group spans time zones.

When does the new year start on this page?

The target is midnight at the beginning of January 1 in your device’s timezone — the moment the calendar flips. After Jan 1 passes, the countdown rolls to the next year.

New Year’s Eve and Day customs

Many people gather for countdowns at midnight, fireworks, champagne toasts, and resolutions on January 1. Ball drops, watch parties, and “five… four… three…” moments are why a live second-by-second clock matters.

Party and display tips

Open the tab early, enable arrival sound if you want a chime at zero, and fullscreen before the final minute. The wait-read line helps you see how many weekends are left in the year for prep.
