New Year's is the oldest and most widely celebrated holiday. Roughly four thousand years ago, the city of Babylon in ancient Mesopotamia hosted the earliest known New Year's festivities. Every year, people all around the globe get together to celebrate the beginning of a new calendar year by exchanging well wishes, feasting, and having a good time.

People everywhere make preparations to begin over on the evening of December 31. What if, however, we told you that the countdown to the New Year is not universally celebrated at midnight? Not at all out of the ordinary, no. Despite the fact that the countdown to 2023 started simultaneously throughout the globe at 11:59:59 p.m., not everyone will be celebrating the New Year at the same time. Let's find out which nations ring in the new year earliest and last. Time passes another year.

If you want to be the first person on Earth to ring in the New Year, you need to be in Oceania.
