I´d say 1 January would be a good bet. smile

If you´re asking about traditions, I would imagine that they vary from country to country. In Spain you eat 12 grapes with each ringing of the bell at midnight with each grape being for good luck for the months of the upcoming year. Then you can go to a formal cotillón.

31 de diciembre, noche de Año Nuevo.

In Colombia there are many traditions too. One is to wear yellow underwear "los cucos amarillos" for good luck in the upcoming year.
