It may sound hard to believe, but there’s more to New Year’s Eve revelry than throwing up in the bathroom of an overcrowded nightclub you never wanted to go to in the first place.
Celebrating the arrival of a new year (and a new Garfield office calendar!) isn’t a “one size fits all” proposition across the globe. Different countries and cultures have their own way of ringing in the new year, and that can also include a difference in the day mass boogieing down is slated to go down. We also have it on good authority that Ryan Seacrest isn’t at every single New Year’s event on the planet, but take it on hearsay until we can prove he doesn’t just teleport everywhere. Busy guy, that Ryan.
We’re not sure if you have room to fit one last care package of zippy knowledge into your brain in 2015, but that hasn’t stopped Uproxx from crafting a fun and informative (infunative?) guide to NYE celebrations and traditions from around the world. Why are grapes a big deal in Spain? What might a mistletoe be used for in Ireland? What do you need to know about onions in Greece? All will be revealed if you hit play. Remember, globetrot responsibly this New Year’s.
