Cartoon New Year Countdowns Stories

Ring in the New Year with this bright, flat-illustration countdown pack made for Instagram Stories, Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. It includes three hand-drawn vertical scenes, and each one counts down the last 10 seconds before a big “Happy New Year” celebration.

Big Clock: a carved wooden cuckoo clock with Roman numerals. The hands tick toward midnight, the little door opens and a cheerful cuckoo bird in a Santa hat pops out. 3D “Happy New Year” lettering bursts out with confetti and streamers.

Times Square: a night city skyline with a glowing skyscraper and the famous ball on top. Digital screens show the countdown, your logo and champagne graphics. At midnight the ball lights up, fireworks fill the sky and the year number appears on the tower.

Sand watch: a big wooden hourglass under the Christmas tree with a snowman and pine trees inside. The sand runs down while the timer counts the final seconds. Then large 3D “Happy New Year” text flies in over the gift boxes and snow.

All three scenes have smooth, playful character animation, a festive color palette, and editable text. Each story works on its own, so you can use them together or separately for New Year’s Eve greetings, brand holiday posts, event promos, store countdowns and social media celebrations.
