New Year's Eve in the world: when are they celebrated?

In most countries of the world, New Year's Day coincides with the date of January 1, i.e. the first day of the Gregorian calendar.

The Islamic New Year is celebrated on the first day of the month of Muharram, which can correspond to any day in the Gregorian calendar. But what other New Year's Eve are celebrated in the world?
