Well I have heard it both ways, but I have usually heard it as “Ring in the New Year.”

Ring in the New Year.

Ring in the New Year.

We gather to “ring” it in, as in to celebrate it.

I have always heard “Ring in the New Year”.

Bring in the New Year.

*Ring in * - as with church bells announcing the start of the new year from midnight. That’s what we did last night just after we’d sung a Te Deum.

To quote Wadsworth in the movie Clue: Either. Or both.

Just to add to my earlier post: I think you’ll find it’s mainly mentioned in Scots tradition to bring in the New Year. Alternatively, there’s “seeing in” the New Year, as well.

I used to ring church bells, as did my mother. For me, it’s “Ring in the New Year.”
