Google celebrates the last day of 2025 with a colorful Doodle marking the arrival of 2026. The new animation appears on Google’s homepage in multiple regions, including India.
The Doodle reflects excitement, hope, and reflection as users prepare for the new year. It initially displays “2025” and then smoothly transitions to “2026,” symbolizing the countdown to midnight. Party-inspired visuals, confetti, balloons, and decorative elements enhance the festive feel.
According to Google, this Doodle is part of an annual tradition. It “celebrates New Year’s Eve across the world, when billions gather with friends and family to reflect on the past year and welcome the new one.” The animation aims to capture the universal spirit of celebration as the calendar turns.
Users opening Google on New Year’s Eve will experience the animation that aligns with their local time, showing the exact moment when the clock strikes midnight. The Doodle encourages joy, reflection, and anticipation for the year ahead.
Google celebrates important global and cultural moments with creative Doodles. The tradition began in 1998 with a simple visual message and has since evolved into a global creative practice. Each year, Google highlights milestones, festivals, and historical events through these interactive illustrations.
This year’s Doodle also features interactive options. Users can select different colors for the Doodle, explore historical details, or even view personalized birthday Doodles. Clicking the Doodle redirects to a page providing additional information about its history and significance.
The celebration on Google’s homepage reminds users that New Year’s Eve marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Through these animations, Google celebrates the global joy and traditions that come with welcoming a new year.
With millions of users witnessing it daily, Google’s 2025-2026 Doodle adds a creative and festive touch to the start of 2026.
