Happy New Year 2024: Preparations have started everywhere for the New Year celebrations. Be it in the country or abroad, every person is very excited about where to hold the party and how to do it. Through this article, we will tell at what time the new year 2024 is going to knock in which country. Preparations for New Year celebrations have started in all countries. Some countries will celebrate the New Year earlier than others. New Year is welcomed in every country. But there is difference in time in different places of the earth.
These are the countries that celebrate New Year early
Most Britons focus on Australia as the first country to see in the New Year, yet this is not true. The island of Kiritimati, also known as Christmas Island, and a chain of 10 other most uninhabited islands in the central Pacific Ocean will be the first to welcome 2024. Although it is located directly south of Hawaii, the island of Kiritimati will welcome the New Year almost a full day earlier.
They find themselves ringing in the New Year while the British are still drinking their morning coffee at 10am GMT on 31 December. At 11am GMT the small Pacific island of Tonga will be ringing in the New Year with New Zealand and Samoa,
Last country to celebrate New Year
As successive time zones celebrate one after the other all over the world, there is always a part of the Earth that comes last. The last parts of Earth to celebrate 2024 will be Baker Island and the Howland Islands, which will see the New Year at 12am GMT on January 1. There aren’t many champagne corks or party poppers ringed in the New Year in American regions, where the day technically ends an hour later.
