New Year's Eve is December 31, the last day of the year.

New Year's Eve is not a public holiday in most countries, but January 1 is almost everywhere. Restaurants, trains and event tickets for the night sell out weeks ahead.

The most useful reminder here is not for the night. It is the one on January 2 that asks whether you started the thing you said you would.

Questions, answered

Is New Year's Eve a public holiday?
Generally not. January 1 is. Many offices close early on the 31st, but that is custom rather than law.
Why is the third reminder after the date?
Because resolutions fail in the first week. A nudge on January 2 does more than a countdown ever will.
How do the reminders work?
Each Remind me button opens WhatsApp with one message already typed for Poko, dated for this year's occurrence. You press Send, Poko confirms the date, and the message arrives on WhatsApp when it is due. Nothing is sent by this page.

Or just tell Poko the date.

Once Poko is in your chat, say “remind me a week before Thanksgiving to order the turkey”.
