Watch midnight sweep around the world on New Year's Eve — free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser.
Unlike a certain sleigh-based tracker, there's nothing simulated here — midnight genuinely does reach a different timezone at a different real moment, sweeping steadily westward around the globe from the international date line over about 26 hours until every timezone has celebrated. This just follows that real sweep, timezone by timezone, as it actually happens.
Unlike a certain sleigh-based tracker, nothing here is invented. Midnight genuinely does reach a different timezone at a different real moment, because "a new day starting" is defined locally, not globally — there's no single instant when it becomes January 1st everywhere at once. Starting near the international date line and sweeping steadily westward, it takes about 26 hours for every timezone on Earth to reach midnight, which is exactly what this page follows, live, as it actually happens.
Genuinely live — there's no fictional journey being simulated here. Midnight really does arrive in each timezone at the real moment shown, based on your device's own clock.
It starts the moment it turns midnight in the first timezone to reach the new year (out near the international date line, typically mid-morning Dec 31st in UTC), and finishes about 26 hours later once the last timezone, out around Hawaii, gets there too.
That part is just for fun — nobody could possibly count real fireworks worldwide. It climbs steadily over the sweep based on how many timezones have already reached midnight.
No. Everything here runs locally in your browser using your device's own clock — nothing is sent to a server.
