A happy new year to everyone in Python!

Hello devs, may we continue to grow in our tasks and studies throughout 2025. This year, I've learned a lot here on dev.to, so, following the community's premise, I’m sharing a Python code snippet for those already counting down the hours to the new year.

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

today = datetime.now()
date_format = "%m/%d/%Y"

if today.strftime(date_format) == "12/31/2024":
    print(today.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))
else:
    new_year = today + timedelta(days=1)
    print(f"It's {new_year.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')}. HAPPY NEW YEAR!")

The datetime module is part of Python's standard library and provides classes for manipulating dates and times, such as the datetime class. The timedelta class represents a time difference (duration), like "2 days," "5 hours," or "30 minutes." It is used for operations like adding or subtracting durations from a date/time object. The code checks whether we are on the last day of 2024, and if not...

It's 01/01/2025. HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎇 🥂🍾
