If your birthday happens to fall on a holiday, then you’re already part of a cool group who gets to celebrate extra hard on Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year’s Eve — or whatever holiday it may be. But, many would agree that having a New Year’s Day birthday is pretty cool! Not only can January 1 babies begin a new year on a special note, but it’s just after Christmas, which means that the present parade is extra long! All material things aside, kick-starting a fresh year on your birthday is exciting, liberating and a bit of extra motivation to have the best year ever! Many celebs celebrate their birthday on New Year’s Day, including Morris Chestnut and Elin Nordegren. See these stars and more who have January 1 birthdays by clicking through our attached gallery!
