How Different Countries Celebrate the New Year Around the World | Vantage with Palki Sharma

As the world marks the arrival of the New Year, countries observe the moment through long-standing traditions. In Spain, people eat twelve grapes at midnight for luck. Denmark sees residents throw old plates at doorsteps to welcome good fortune. In Japan, Buddhist temples ring bells 108 times to symbolise purification. Brazilians dress in white and jump ocean waves, while people in the Philippines display round objects believed to bring prosperity. In Ireland, bread is struck against doors to ward off bad spirits. In Romania, bear dances mark renewal, while some families in Chile visit cemeteries to honour loved ones.
