In the spirit of achieving good grammar on the HPR website, New Years Eve should be New Year's Eve.

The logic is that:

New Year is the first of January
The eve (evening or day before) of this day is December 31st
The eve is "possessed" by the day and the phrase "New Year's" should denote this by using the possessive form (the eve belonging to New Year)
Without the apostrophe it's a plural

In the spirit of achieving good grammar on the HPR website, `New Years Eve` should be `New Year's Eve`. The logic is that: - New Year is the first of January - The _eve_ (evening or day before) of this day is December 31st - The _eve_ is "possessed" by the day and the phrase "New Year's" should denote this by using the possessive form (the _eve_ belonging to New Year) - Without the apostrophe it's a plural Supporting article: [Is It New Year, New Year’s, or New Years?
