It is a universal truth that not all countries of the world celebrate New Year at the same time due to the time difference across the globe.

However, some countries do count down the seconds until the New Year begins at the same time.


So, the Kiritimati Island also known as the Christmas Island and 10 others mostly uninhabited islands of the central Pacific Ocean will be the first to ring in 2025.


In clear , they will be celebrating new year, 1st January 2025 while it's 1:00pm December 31 2024 in Nigeria.


Which country would be last to see 2025?


The last place on earth to see Christmas is one of the USA islands, specifically Hawaii.

Countries furthest to the west on a British map are the last to celebrate the New Year this means, two uninhabited islands southwest of Hawaii, named Baker Island and Howland Island, will be the last to see the start of 2025.

Interestingly, it would be almost 24hours (midnight 2AM 31st December) in Hawaii when Kiribati enters new year 2025 🎉


Happy New Year 2025 🎉🍾

He modified it later. He did not include it before

I think New Zealand because I teach kids from that country online. Last week, one of the kids was the first person to wish me a Merry Christmas when it was 24th December here, when i checked the time i observed they are exactly 12 hours ahead of us.

I don't know, but the only thing I know is that South Africa will see 2025 before Nigerian...🤭🤭🤭

Happy New Year from us all at Kiribati 🎉.

We just hit new year while it's still 11:00am 31st December 2024 Nigerian time

How many people that read it last year will read it? Don't you know that many still don't know.

Nothing is new in this world, we just retell it in our own different ways.

Actually, you are correct in the sense that it's a country where people live.

However, when It comes to location on earth Kiribati is the first 🎉

See you in 2025 🤗

Kiritimati Island, part of the Republic of Kiribati, will be the first location to enter 2025. This Pacific Ocean atoll, also known as Christmas Island, is one of the largest atolls in the world. Due to its unique location near the International Date Line, Kiritimati Island gets to celebrate the new year before anyone else.

Other countries that will celebrate the new year shortly after Kiritimati Island include New Zealand, Australia, and Tonga. These countries are all located in the South Pacific and have time zones that allow them to celebrate the new year before many other parts of the world.


Happy new year in advance.
