Countries worldwide are celebrating the New Year as midnight arrives in each time zone. The island of Kiritimati, part of Kiribati in the Pacific, was the first to welcome 2026. A tourist described the experience as "on a beach with no satellites, no signs of human life, complete darkness, and countless crabs."

In the UK, spectators enjoyed thousands of fireworks illuminating London's skies, while in Edinburgh, crowds gathered for traditional Hogmanay celebrations despite weather warnings.
