If you’re wanting ringing in the New Year from Hawaii or Alaska, you’ll have a tougher time finding a local countdown since most networks cater to the East Coast or even the Central time zone. But there are still options for New Year’s Eve that focus on people outside of the continental United States, including timers and countdown clocks below. These will help you say goodbye to 2021 and hello to 2022 if you’re in Alaska or Hawaii.
