One of the best things about New Year's Eve (in addition to the fireworks and copious amounts of champagne) is that it’s the one time the entire globe celebrates together. From donning brightly colored underpants to curling up on the couch with loved ones, everyone has their own tradition for ringing in the New Year (and some strange hangover cures for the morning after). For 2015, we’ve layed out when the clock strikes midnight around the world in Eastern Standard Time, so grab the party poppers and start your countdown at 6 a.m.!
Who knows, maybe next year you’ll find yourself celebrating in someplace new.
