I guess it depends on the time and place in history

If we follow the Greenwich keepers of time - then yes we can call it a new year based on the Gregorian calendar.
But what about all the other calendars ?
What New Year are we really celebrating?
The answer depends upon whom you ask.
For Jews, this is the year 5784AM (“In the Year of the World”.
For Christians, it’s the year 2024 AD (“In the Year of the Lord”
For Muslims this is the year 1445 AH (“In the Year of the Hijra”
Then of course we have the Thai, Chinese and Hindu calendar s as well as the many other calendars
