In Scotland we have Hogmanay, Hogmanay is basically a HUGE party across Scotland. There is a big firework show and a countdown at Edinburgh Castle, and it is broadcast live on TV, most of the Scottish channels showing it live it. People often have Hogmanay parties, (where most people get very drunk!) where everyone stands in front of the TV for the countdown, and when they beat a drum, Bagpipes playing, fireworks flaming, everybody stands in a big circle, crosses hands over, and sings "Auld Land Syne" and after there are usually numerous films, mostly classics, and the parties continue through to the early hours. I hope I have helped you and please do come to Scotland some time! It is a great place to be, and everyone will (almost!) always be welcome.
