The ball drop started in 1907

The Times Square Ball in New York first came down on December 31, 1907, to welcome 1908. Waiters in nearby hotels wore top hats with lights that spelled "1908" and switched them on at midnight.

The ball has dropped every year since, except in 1942 and 1943, when wartime blackouts stopped it. Today it starts moving at 11:59 p.m. and stops at exactly midnight.

The year updates itself

Nobody types the year into these cards. From July on, they show the coming year, so a card you make now says 2027. The box digits are built from a small set of digit shapes, so next year's card will be right too.

Midnight comes many times

The new year starts first on the Line Islands of Kiribati in the Pacific, at 10:00 UTC on December 31. The last place to reach it is Baker Island, a small US island with nobody living on it, a full day later.

So friends in other countries hear "Happy New Year" at different hours. If they live far away, send the card at their midnight, not yours.

A short wish fits well in the "Short message" box: "Here's to a calm year", "Cheers to more trips" or just "See you next year".

Frequently asked questions

Will the year on the card be right next year?

Yes. The page works out the year from your date. From July to December it shows the next year, and from January to June the current one.

Can I change the year by hand?

Click "Edit by hand" and type over the digits. Copy and Save as image then use your version.

Which card works best in a group chat?

Narrow cards travel best, because group chats are often read on phones. Check the width under each card in the grid and pick one around 32 characters or less.
