New Zealand is about two hours ahead of Sydney in Australia, and it usually welcomes the New Year with a fireworks and light show, something that it managed to do this year as well, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to reports, Samoa, which is a South Pacific Island, is the first to mark the New Year, followed by New Zealand.

With no COVID-19 cases reported on the island nation, Kiwis, as New Zealanders are called, could enjoy the display of fireworks on the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
