New Year Netherlands

The New Year swim is for brave souls.  Thousands of people greet the New Year on Scheveningen beach in The Hague, and elsewhere, by diving into the icy North Sea. This custom originated as a dare by a couple of students around forty years ago.

New Year Brazil

The colour white plays an important role on New Year' s Eve in Brazil.  Wearing white clothing is said to bring happiness and peace.  For many people New Year's Eve is also the feast of the sea god Yermanja, commemoratred by throwing flowers into the sea.  This is supposed to increase fertility and strengthen relationships.

New Year in Spain

Spaniards eat grapes at midnight on New Year's Eve, one for each of the twelve chimes of the church bell.  It is considered unlucky if one has not eaten all the twelve grapes by the last chimes  before people wish each other good luck.  The custom is said to have been introduced in 1909 as a result of the record grape harvest that year.

New Year Russia

The Russians have an unusual tradition of sprinkling ash into their champagne. As the last chimes of the old year ring, a wish for the new year is written on a piece of paper, which is then burned and the ashes poured into a glass of champagne.  According to tradition, the wish will come true if the glass is emptied on the stroke of midnight.
