“New year” is capitalized if you are referring specifically to the holiday, in expressions like:
- Happy New Year!
- New Year’s Eve
- New Year’s Day
- New Year’s resolution
- New Year’s party
However, if you are referring generally to “the new year” or “a new year,” it should be lowercase (e.g., “Wishing you all the best in the new year“).
A QuillBot Grammar Check can help ensure you’re capitalizing words and phrases correctly.
