When does everybody celebrate the New Year in 2026?

If you ever wanted to know when people started celebrating the New Year, or you wanted to know how much people are soaking up the year before it gets to you, here's the entire world listed in time zone order.

Some caveats

There are inevitable problems with working out populations like this, including:

Note that the most accurate popluation figures I have access to consider Crimea to be part of Russia (and using Moscow Time) but consider the seperatist areas in Donbas are part of Ukraine (and using Eastern European Time). This does not reflect the legitimate territory of either of either country, but unfortunately this is the best statistical information I have access to.

Stay safe this new years season, and I hope that you have a good 2026.
