Happy New Year 2025

2025: The Year We Kicked Off With Fireworks and Polar Marathons!

From dazzling fireworks across the globe to a brave soul running in freezing Norway, New Year's 2025 was nothing short of spectacular. 🎉🏃‍♂️

As the final parts of the world welcomed 2025, chaos and excitement filled the atmosphere in cities worldwide. From the Pacific Islands of Australasia to the vibrant streets of Europe, the New Year’s Day festivities brought the planet together in a joyful chorus. As celebrations erupted in grand fashion, people sang, danced, and laughed, embracing the new year with open arms. The picturesque New Year’s Eve fireworks lit up the skies over iconic spots like the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, dazzling onlookers and setting the tone for a year full of hope and promises.

Among the celebrators was Jesse Walklin, who took on the challenge of running the PolarNight Half Marathon through Norway's icy terrain. Brave and determined, he accomplished this feat in memory of his mom, raising essential funds for Brain Tumour Research along the way. Jesse is just one of many who took unique approaches to celebrating the New Year, proving that while we might gather in joyous celebration, some are also deeply motivated to honor their loved ones.

The excitement didn't just stop in Europe. In India, hordes of people flocked to Mumbai's grand promenade, eagerly viewing the Arabian Sea’s midnight view as it glistened under the fireworks. Each city showcased its unique flair for celebration, demonstrating how the spirit of the New Year transcends borders, languages, and cultures. From street parties to grand gatherings, the transition into 2025 became a global fiesta, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

As the digital age brings the world closer, UXLINK, a leading Web3 social platform, extended its New Year greetings, signaling a year of momentum and growth. With technology paving the way for more inclusive celebrations, 2025 holds the promise of digital connectivity and a community that thrives on unity, despite the distance between us.

Did you know that over a billion people participated in New Year celebrations around the world in 2025? That's an astonishing number! And here’s a fun fact: the PolarNight Half Marathon that Jesse ran takes place in Norway during a time when the sun doesn't rise, making every step an even bolder challenge!
