Eating 12 Grapes Tradition 2025 Schedule. The practice of eating 12 grapes as the clock strikes midnight is a spanish holiday tradition meant to bring luck in the new year. This spanish tradition involves eating 12 grapes in the final 60 seconds before midnight.

Organisers say the decision to delay the 12:00 gmt start by 30 minutes has been taken in the interest of public safety to avoid a squall line expected in london around midday. Blinkit reported delivering seven times more grapes.
