What is new year

New Year is the celebration of the beginning of a new calendar year. It usually involves marking the transition from December 31st to January 1st, according to the Gregorian calendar (which is the most widely used calendar in the world).

Here are a few key points:
• New Year’s Eve (December 31st) is celebrated with parties, fireworks, and countdowns to midnight.

There are also other New Year celebrations depending on cultural or religious calendars:
• Chinese New Year (between January and February)
