Like every year, Australia and New Zealand are among the first countries to move to the year 2025, due to the time difference.
New Zealand is already in 2025. Due to time difference, the country has already entered the new year. Auckland has become the first major city to ring in the New Year with a light show and fireworks.
In Australia, also in 2025, more than a million spectators, gathered in Sydney, saw nine tons of fireworks light up the sky above its must-see opera house and the Harbor Bridge at midnight. Earlier, British pop star Robbie Williams led a sing-along and indigenous performances paid tribute to the country’s first inhabitants.
In Japan, hundreds of residents and tourists gathered in the gardens of the Tokudai-Ji temple in Tokyo, where a bell rang the start of the new year, which will be under the sign of the snake, according to the Japanese horoscope .
Other countries in the region, such as China, will begin celebrating the Year of the Snake later, with the Lunar New Year.
Other time zones will be the opposite in 2025 after France. This is particularly the case in the United States. Residents of New York will wish each other a Happy New Year tomorrow at 6 a.m. French time and residents of Los Angeles at 9 a.m. The furthest behind remain Tahiti and Hawaii, which will pass in 2025 at 11 a.m. Brussels time.
