Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese shared festive wishes alongside the iconic Harbour Bridge image. Asia's anime, VTubers, and Korean creators joined in with group illustrations, drawings, and playful greetings, blending real-world spectacles with digital cheer as the new year wave continues.
