In the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Day marks the commencement of the year, falling on 1 January. While most solar calendars, such as the Gregorian and Julian calendars, initiate the year consistently around the northern winter solstice, cultures following a lunisolar or lunar calendar celebrate their Lunar New Year at less predictable points in relation to the solar year.
