When is New Year?
New Year's Day is January 1. Once this year's January 1 has passed, the countdown automatically rolls to the next one, so the page is always counting down to the upcoming New Year rather than showing a date that has already gone.
If you are counting down to the stroke of midnight rather than the calendar day, see New Year's Eve — the countdown there ends as December 31 turns into January 1.

The next New Year falls on a Friday. Here is the date and weekday for the next ten years:
