New Year’s Day is a time of resolutions and starting fresh for some, while for others it is spent recovering from a big, late night spent with friends and family.
Traditions here include fireworks shows, family dinners, midnight countdowns, and New Year’s resolutions. However, many flock to The Isle of Man this time of year while on holiday to enjoy its unique landscape, history, culture, and events.
Most people stay up to midnight either at home or at a public event and cheer when the clock strikes 12. They may then drink a toast of champagne or simply greet everyone they can find with a hearty “Happy New Year!”
