    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.

    Is this New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day?
    The target is midnight at the start of January 1 — the moment the new year begins in your timezone.
    Will it work for next year after Jan 1?
    Yes. When January 1 has passed, the countdown moves to the next January 1.
    Can I use a different timezone?
    The countdown uses your device’s local timezone. Change the system clock region if you need another zone.
    Can I rename the title?
    Yes. Edit the title field; the share hash updates so the label travels with the link.
    Will the countdown work if I keep the tab in the background?
    Yes. The clock keeps updating while the tab is open. For a big-screen display, keep the window visible and use fullscreen.
