As New Zealand wakes up in 2023, the rest of the world continues to celebrate the end of 2022 and prepares to ring in the new year.
Fireworks, drone displays, and a traditional bell ringing, watch below how some countries around the world said goodbye to 2022 and said a festive hello to 2023.
Auckland was the first major city to welcome in the new year with the Sky Tower erupting into a blaze of fireworks with a light display on the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
Shortly after New Zealand celebrated the new year our neighbours across the ditch kicked off the iconic Sydney fireworks and light show display.
A number of Asian countries including Taiwan, Thailand and Hong Kong then welcomed in 2023.
Dubai was then passed the New Years' celebration torch and put on a drone display at Al Marjan Island and Al Hamra Village and an elaborate fireworks display at the world's tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa.
Other nations now ringing in the new year include Egypt, Libya, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
In Ukraine New Years' celebrations have been rather subdued due to curfews remaining in place across the country making celebrations impossible in many public spaces.
Several regional governors posted messages on social media warning residents not to break restrictions on New Year's Eve.
But elsewhere in Europe, the celebrations continued in a number of European capitals including Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Stockholm, Belgrade and Warsaw.
