Line 7:
Some works use the new year as a natural starting and/or ending point for their stories. In series it may be used as an excuse for a [[Clip Show]].

Line 22:
* ''[[Toradora (Light Novel)|Toradora]]'' takes up the plot on New Year's after a short [[Time Skip]] from the [[Christmas Episode]]/[[Wham Episode]]. It contains evidence that [[Nothing Is the Same Anymore]] because {{spoiler|Taiga can talk to [[The Smart Guy|Yuusaku]] without stuttering and becoming a [[Dojikko]]. It turns out to be because she's over him and has realized she's in love with [[The Hero|Ryuuji]].}} A new beginning, of sorts.
* ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' has an episode where she goes to the temple with Tomoyo and gets an odd fortune from Eriol (i.e. one lacking in good luck that he magicked).

* A ''[[Barney Miller]]'' episode takes place on New Year's Eve.
* ''[[The X-Files]]'' had "Millenium" as its New Year's episode. As suggested by the name, it aired in 1999 and is about superstition surrounding the new millenium. Perhaps surprisingly, it doesn't have to do with [[Y 2 K]]. It ''does'' have to do with religious fanatics using zombies to bring about the end of the world. In true X-Files style. "Millenium" pulls double duty as not only an X-Files episode, but the series finale to ''Millenium'', another Chris Carter show. It also marks the {{spoiler|first kiss between Mulder and Scully, just as the clock strikes midnight.}}
