Cosmonautics. Planetary New Year. (2014)

The first Soviet cosmonauts to celebrate the new year 1978 in space were Yuri Romanenko and Georgy Grechko at the Salyut-6 station.

The most cheerful earthly holiday in 40 years of manned cosmonautics was met in orbit by 31 cosmonauts and 26 astronauts.

Earthlings can only dream of celebrating the most earthly holiday outside the Earth, crossing one time zone after another, congratulating continents and countries 16 times during the day.
