Getty New Year's Eve Countdown Timers
If you’re wanting to ring in the New Year from Hawaii or Alaska, it will be more difficult to find broadcasts and countdowns since most cater to the East Coast or even the Central time zone. But there are some options for New Year’s Eve that cater to those who are outside of the continental United States, including timers and countdown clocks below.
Live Countdown Timers for Hawaii

The first timer is from Countdown Online Clock and you can set whatever type of background you want for it, whether it’s confetti, a New Year’s Party Scene, Times Square, or another festive background. So if you’re in Hawaii, it will detect exactly where you are.
