I remember that in Germany, New Years Eve is called Sylvester.

Sylvester Punch

This New Year's Eve punch is a tradition in Austria, where the last day of the year is dedicated to the Holy Pope, St. Sylvester. He baptized Constantine the Great, thereby bringing about the dawning not only of the New Year but of a new era; for this reason, the night before the New Year is called Sylvesterabend (Eve of St. Sylvester). The Sylvesterabend celebrations are similar to American New Year's Eve parties.
