Hello, I have difficulty understanding some prepositions of time like at and on in these examples: AT New Year ON New Year's Eve. I think for "on New Year's Eve" the preposition is ON because it solely refers to the night when we celebrate the end of the year, the bells ring, we kiss and party...

Dear all, Which preposition should I use? New Year's Eve. For example, in the following sentences: In China, people have a custom to stay up the New Year's Eve until midnight. I think this is why people have the custom of having dumplings New Year?s Eve. I'm not sure whether they are correct and I don't know when to use which. Thank you!
On New Year's Eve + at night = ? [Eve = evening or whole day?]

I have fewer reservations about 'the night of New Year's Eve', so your sentences are fine for me. We do say things like 'New Year's Eve is a university holiday' here, and that clearly refers to the entire day. In Hong Kong 'Chinese New Year's Eve' is a pubic holiday and offices are shut on the day.

New Year's ball drop - WordReference Forums

In the US to celebrate New Years, there is often a ball drop, which is just a ball falling down a pole which signals the new year. How could I say New Year's ball drop in Spanish? La pelota del Año Nuevo cae?

Does "New Year's" refer to New Year's holiday, which consists of December 31 and January 1? "New Years's" refers to the end of the year. It does not mean those 2 days. In most places in the US, Jan 1 is a holiday. But Dec 31 often is not a holiday. "New Year's Eve" refers to the evening and night of Dec 31, when many people celebrate.

Any party is a "New Year's Eve" party. That is a party "on the eve of" (in the night before) New Year's Day: December 31. Traditionally, the party lasts until midnight: the exact minute and second that the "new year" starts. That is the high point of the party, which ends a while after that.

This makes no sense, because later means ?after a specific time or event?, and no such time or event is specified in your sentence. It just begs the question: later than what? But you could say ?in a few years? time? or ?a few years from now?.
