NYE 2021 Fireworks Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam New Years Eve
New Year 2021 around the world — Live updates
Nations around the world have said goodbye and good riddance to 2020. The festivities were toned down as millions stayed at home due to COVID, but the new year still carries high hopes.
Most NYE celebrations were watched from home, if they weren't canceled
Millions are in lockdown as recent waves of COVID infections continue to take their toll
Many were eager to see the back of 2020, a year in which COVID-19 killed over 1.8 million people
All updates in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
11:00 The Pacific islands of American Samoa just entered 2021 — all that is left are the uninhabited Baker and Howland Islands.
10:00 Hawaii was the final US state to bid farewell, five hours after New York and the rest of the eastern seaboard rang in the new year.
The festivities for 2020 were a stark deviation from previous years with the streets of most major cities around the world left eerily quiet as people celebrated, or not, at home. Check out our picture gallery.
09:00 Alaska has now joined the rest of the continental United States in 2021. Only the final Pacific islands remain.
08:00 The West Coast of the US and Canada, along with a sliver of Mexico, have just become the most recent parts of the world to ring in the new year.
California marked a somber occasion as it bid farewell to a tragic 2020 with authorities announcing on Thursday that the state had surpassed 25,000 coronavirus deaths.
Public health officials were still pleading with the public not to gather just hours before the start of the new year as hospitals reached breaking point.
The chief of police in Vancouver, Canada, celebrated the new year over Twitter with a photo of one of the city's empty streets.
Despite a plea from the governor of Nevada to avoid gatherings on New Year's Eve, thousands gathered along the famous Strip in Las Vegas throughout the evening.
In Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti had warned locals that police would be patrolling to shut down large gatherings while San Diego mayor, Todd Gloria, issued an executive order to enforce public health rules.
There are a few more hours to go until the whole planet has crossed into 2021. We are still waiting for Alaska and the final Pacific islands, including the US state of Hawaii.
07:00 The Mountain Time Zone of the US, which includes the states of Colorado and Arizona among others, as well as parts of Canada and Mexico have now entered 2021.
As one of the first US states with a confirmed case of the new rapidly-spreading COVID variant, Colorado is bracing for a possible surge of cases in the new year.
President-elect Joe Biden tweeted out a message of hope to bring in the new year, saying: "After a year of pain and loss, let us unite, heal and rebuild in 2021."
