Twitter will celebrate the start of 2016 by activating a special fireworks emoji for people who use the #HappyNewYear hashtag in 38 different languages, including English, Chinese, French, Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Portuguese, Spanish, Hindi, Punjabi, Russian and German.The company has also teamed up with New Year’s Eve in Times Square, which is organized by the Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment, to display tweets during the countdown festivities.

Some tweets and videos will appear on the screen directly under the Times Square Ball, as well as other screens in the area.

This isn’t the first time Twitter has put together a special New Year’s project. In 2014, the company produced an animation that showed off 24 hours of New Year’s Eve celebrations around the world based on Twitter usage.
