What Is the New Year Countdown 2025?
The New Year Countdown is an online countdown of how much time is left until the New Year, and it updates every second as a live number block on your screen. It shows you exactly how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the new year, without having to click a single button. Using it is effortless, and helps you learn exactly how long until the next year begins without even having to consult a calendar.
How to Use the New Year Countdown Clock
When you arrive at this countdown page, you can instantly find our countdown to New Year, which shows the time remaining until the next year. There's no need to do anything extra in order to use it.
However, if you click on the fullscreen icon on the top right of the screen, which is only available on desktop, not mobile phones, you can open the countdown of new year 2025 in fullscreen.
Other than the countdown itself, the page also gives you the exact date that the new year starts (Wednesday, 1 January 2025) and your timezone, or the timezone that your browser uses.
Why People Celebrate the New Year
There are a variety of reasons why people around the world decide to celebrate the new year during the holidays.
Firstly, it's a time to celebrate getting through another year and to reminisce about the past year and everything you've achieved. You can celebrate achievements, milestones, and major events with the people that mean the most to you.
It's also a fresh start for many, and the perfect time to set new goals and look ahead to the future and make plans for the following 12 months. Many people celebrate this special event similar to how they celebrate a birthday, only that it's a collective celebration among everyone, as opposed to an individual celebrating.
People have also celebrated the start of the year for a very long time, with the earliest recorded celebrations taking place around 4,000 years ago (ancient Babylon times). This is way back before Jan 1st was even recognized as New Year's Day, as that only took place officially in 1582 when the calendar we use today (Gregorian) was introduced.
