Here you have some of the many collected handpicked images of 2015 celebrations in different parts of the world, where each country received the new year according to their particular customs and traditions.

After an intense 2014 full of many memorable moments, both good and bad, here comes a new stage of 365 days that surely will bring us new stories. Leaving aside the tragedy of New Year in Shanghai, where 36 people died due to crowds caused, the world joined the celebrations of 2015 to try to welcome this new year the best way possible. 

Depending on the time differences of each country, some closed the year before others. For example, the countries of Oceania were the first to celebrate the inauguration of 2015. But despite different times, what we all had in common in most countries were the images of celebration, which they were marked by fireworks and visual shows.

So, here we leave you with a collection of different snapshots representing not only the end of one phase, but the beginning of a new one that we from MBC Times wish to be as positive as possible.
