which country celebrates new year first
The first inhabited place to enter the New Year is Kiritimati, in the Line Islands of Kiribati. It is midnight there at 10:00 UTC on December 31, which is 5:00 a.m. in New York. The board below shows live who has turned and who comes next.

Southern summer: one hour ahead of standard time.
New Year arrives first in the Line Islands of Kiribati (UTC+14) and then moves west, zone by zone, over 25 hours. The board on this page shows live which of the 37 zones have turned, how long until the next one and what your own clock reads at each turn.
Kiribati, in the Line Islands. Kiritimati island uses UTC+14 and turns at 10:00 UTC on December 31. New Zealand comes an hour after Kiritimati, and eastern Australia three hours after.
Because Auckland is the first large city to turn and holds big fireworks shows broadcast live. Kiritimati has very few residents and almost no coverage from there.
At 5:00 a.m. on December 31, because 10:00 UTC minus 5 hours is 5:00. The same goes for any city on UTC-5, such as Bogotá and Lima.
Only if a country changes its zone. Under the current rules Kiritimati stays first every year, and the tool recomputes each offset every time, with no stored values.
