The Chatham Islands, (part of New Zealand, located about 800km to the east of the main New Zealand islands), are 45 minutes ahead of the standard New Zealand time, at UTC/GMT +12:45 hours. On New Year's Day they are in Daylight time of UTC/GMT +13:45 hours, therefore they are the first place to celebrate the New Year.
