How long is left until New Year?
This page counts down live: days, hours, minutes and seconds until New Year, ticking every second. The clock aims at 00:00 on 1 January in your device's time zone, so it reaches zero at your own midnight.
New Year: Under the clock you see how many working days and weekends are left, which is handy for planning. When the day arrives, fireworks go off by themselves; the button sets them off any time.
How to use it
New Year: Nothing to set up: open the page and watch the clock.
Open the page for New Year: the clock starts at once.
Read the days, hours, minutes and seconds left until New Year.
New Year: Keep the tab open for the fireworks at zero, or press Fireworks to see them now.

How the clock works
The clock reads your device's time zone, so someone in Tokyo and someone in New York see different seconds but both reach zero at their own midnight on 1 January.
Hours, minutes and seconds come from the device clock, so the count to New Year stays right even when the tab sleeps; it catches up the moment you return.
Good to know
It counts to 00:00 on 1 January. For another date or hour, use the countdown with your own target.
If the device clock is wrong, the countdown to New Year is wrong too; it does not ask a server for the time.
Tips
- Leave the page open on a screen for the last evening before New Year: the fireworks start by themselves at zero.
- Press Fireworks once before guests arrive to check the screen and the volume for New Year.
