New Year countdown for every country and time zone

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): The countdown on this page runs to midnight in your device's time zone. Other places reach the new year at different moments: Kiribati's Line Islands are first, at 10:00 UTC on December 31, followed by New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Europe and the Americas, with American Samoa and Baker Island last, 26 hours after the first. To watch another country's midnight, convert it: Tokyo celebrates when it is 10:00 in New York, London at 19:00 New York time and Central Time an hour after New York. Use the table to plan a video call across time zones.
