Are some parts of newfoundland in the new year

Newfoundland and Labrador, a province in eastern Canada, is one of the few places in the world where you can experience two New Year's celebrations in one day. This phenomenon is due to the province's unique location and time zone.

Newfoundland and Labrador is located in the Newfoundland Time Zone (NST), which is UTC-3:30. This means that the province is 30 minutes and 30 seconds behind Atlantic Standard Time (AST), which is UTC-4.

When it's December 31st in the rest of North America, it's still December 31st in Newfoundland. However, when the clock strikes midnight in the rest of North America, it's still 11:30 PM in Newfoundland. This means that the province gets to celebrate New Year's Eve twice!

The first celebration takes place at 11:30 PM local time, and the second celebration occurs at midnight local time, which is 12:00 AM on January 1st. This unique situation is often referred to as "Newfoundland's Second New Year's Eve."

So, if you ever find yourself in Newfoundland and Labrador on December 31st, you'll have the opportunity to celebrate the start of a new year not once, but twice!
