How to use Find the New Year's Day
- 1. Set the year range. Enter From year and To year to cover the span you need, such as 2026 to 2027, and January 1 for each year in between gets listed with its weekday.
- 2. Pick a separator. Set Separator to choose how each year's line is joined, such as a newline, so the list drops directly into a planner or spreadsheet.
- 3. Read the dates and weekdays. Each output line pairs the year with January 1's date and weekday, which is what determines whether New Year's Eve celebrations spill into a long weekend.
- 4. Copy the results. Copy the list into an office calendar, event planning document, or countdown page for New Year's celebrations.
