New Year's Eve Countdown 2023 - New Year 2024 - worldwide. The New Year's Eve countdown is running in many news tickers and, like every year on December 31st, the question arises: Where is "tomorrow" now?! .... so New Year 2024. In this country, many will prepare their New Year's Eve punch and prepare the menus, while the rest of the world will start the New Year 2024 much earlier and much later. 

There is a small island republic or atoll on the equator in the South Pacific called "Kiribati", which was the first to celebrate the New Year at 11 a.m. CET - Central European Time. 

Just 15 minutes later, the Chatham Islands, which belong to New Zealand and are a good 800 kilometers away from their capital, were celebrating. The archipelago includes 10 islands. The sky lit up Samoa and Tonga around 12pm. 

New Zealand follows quickly. The Baker and Howland Islands will be the last to start the New Year, 26 hours after the Kiribati archipelago - and a full 13 hours after us.
