How the date of New Year's Eve is set
New Year's Eve is always December 31. The countdown here runs to the start of that day, at midnight between December 30 and 31 in your time zone. For the moment the year changes, use the New Year countdown, which runs to midnight on January 1.
New Year's Eve is exactly one week after Christmas Eve, so the two always fall on the same weekday.
Is New Year's Eve a day off?
December 31 is a normal working day in many countries, including the US and the UK, though many offices close early.
It is a public holiday or a special non-working day in a few countries, such as Latvia and the Philippines. In Scotland it is Hogmanay, and January 2 is a bank holiday there too.
Planning around it? The working days in the answer box count Monday to Friday only. Take out any public holidays in between, or use the date calculator to count from another date.

How many days are left in the year?

Why does the live clock show one day less than the days count?
The days count is calendar days: tomorrow is 1 day away. The clock counts real time to midnight at the start of New Year's Eve, so with New Year's Eve two days away it shows 1 day and some hours. Both are right; they answer slightly different questions.
