Google New Years Doodle

This is weird. It is 2026, and Google.com, the Google Search home page, is still showing yesterday's New Year's Eve doodle of 2025 going into 2026. But it is after 7 am ET here on January 1, 2026, and on all my devices, I see yesterday's Google Doodle.

Here is a GIF of the Google home page:

New Years Eve On Day Google Logo

As you can see, it takes you to a search for New Year's Eve and not New Year's Day and shows yesterday's date, December 31, 2025 and not January 1, 2026.

Here is yesterday's Google New Year's Eve Doodle:

New Years Eve 2025 6753651837110713 2 2xa

Here is the New Year's Day Doodle:

New Years Day 2026 6753651837110748 2 2xa

Anyone else seeing this?

I tested this on Chrome Mac, Safari Mac, iOS Safari, iOS Google app, Android Google App, Android Chrome and I see the Doodle from yesterday.
