This country starts off their new year by eating 12 grapes, which symbolize each strike of the clock. The tradition started in the late 19th century and is believed to ward off evil while boosting your chances of a prosperous and lucky new year. However, this will work only if you manage to eat all of the grapes by the time the clock finishes striking midnight.

On New Year’s Eve, households in this South American country have a tradition of placing three potatoes under each family member’s bed—one peeled, one not, and the last one only partially.
