Hogmanay is celebrated in Scotland, which simply means "last day of the year." There's a 40,000 person torchlight procession that ends in a bonfire. It's such a huge event, there's

bands, food, fireworks, everything you'd want at party.

Spending New Years Eve anywhere in Australia would be amazing, but Sydney offers the most beautiful view. Out in the harbor, they celebrate with one of the best fireworks displays

in the world. Plus, it's still summertime there, so you can enjoy a warm day at the beach before partying all night.

Though an outdoor concert in the mountains in the middle of winter may not sound like a good idea, the Snowglobe Music Festival in South Lake Tahoe makes it work.

A 3-day festival of EDM music, you'll have fireworks, music, and lights all illuminating the snowy trees surrounding you.

Everybody has fireworks, but very few places have the Northern lights. Just outside of Reykjavik is a prime spot to see them. You may not be in a big crowd or

a raucous party, but you'll get a chance to see one of nature's wonders as you celebrate a new year.

Hong Kong is one of the most eclectic cities in the world with a beautiful mix of Eastern and Western culture. Not only do they have a stunning skyline, but

the fireworks display ends with a pyrotechnic dragon dancing across the sky. If there's somewhere else that ends it's party with fire dragons, we'd like to see it.

If you're looking to do more than dancing and cocktails, you can participate in a 10k race to start your year. With one race for professionals and one for amateurs,

the event is actually super fun with most of the non-pros dressing in costume. This isn't just popular among fitness fanatics. Over 40,000 people show up! It's a good way to get your

resolution started before the New Years begins.

Germans may not seem like the top party people, but in Berlin, they go bananas on New Years. Fireworks are legal only between Christmas and New Years, so you can

get your fill of self-lit pyrotechnics. There's an area official called "Party Mile" and thousands of people are there to have a night to remember.

Dubai has adopted a real "Go big or go home" attitude for the city. So, New Years is really crazy. With fireworks coming from the tallest towers in the world

and a night full of water and laser shows, you're sure to be amazed by the end of the night.
