Google Launches Golden New Year Doodle Welcoming 2026

The artwork is a rare global release from Google's Doodlers, featuring a gold‑lit logo with silver “2026” balloons.

Overview

  • Google published the New Year’s Doodle on December 31, 2025 to mark the arrival of 2026.
  • The design shows a golden glow on the Google logo with silver metallic balloons forming 2026, accented by stars, streamers and papel picado.
  • This New Year artwork replaces the Christmas-themed Doodle that appeared for much of December.
  • It follows an interactive December 1 Doodle that wrapped the logo in colored lights and set a festive tone for the month.
  • Google highlights New Year’s Eve as a global moment of reflection and anticipation, continuing a Doodle tradition that began in 1998 and has produced thousands of designs by a dedicated team.
