I believe it should have an apostrophe, but it is often left out. It's the first day of, or belonging to, the New Year. It is the New Year's first day. Within a generation or two, we will probably never see the apostrophe used for New Year's Day; it will go the way of archaic usage. If current trends are any indication, apostrophe ess will probably shift from indicating the possessive forms of most nouns (its current use) to the general plural form (still considered incorrect currently).
