Kiribati and parts of New Zealand reach midnight first, and American Samoa and Baker Island are last, so New Year is celebrated for about 26 hours around the planet. The Times Square ball has dropped since 1907.
Traditions vary widely: in Spain people eat 12 grapes, one for each chime at midnight; in Scotland, Hogmanay celebrations can last several days.
