The holiday occurring on the last day of the year, celebrated on December 31st in cultures following the Gregorian calendar; this entire 24-hour calendar day or (often) specifically its evening.
We spent New Year's Eve eating sweets, drinking champagne, and watching the countdown!
I have to work on New Year's Eve day, but then I'm going to my friends' house for the evening.
Near-synonym: watchnight (a precise differentiation is explained there)
New Year's Eve day [denotes the daytime portion of this calendar day]
The town of Tweed Heads in the north of New South Wales merges seamlessly into Coolangatta on Queensland's Gold Coast. The two states are ostensibly in the same time zone, but New South Wales observes daylight saving, and Queensland doesn't. That means the twin towns have managed to carve out a peculiar niche as somewhere you can celebrate New Year's Eve twice. Start in Tweed Heads, then stroll over into Coolangatta, and the party starts again an hour later.
