Back in 45 BCE, January 1 became officially recognised as the start of a new year. Prior to then, there were 355 days in the Roman calendar, which started in March. When Julius Caesar became the dictator of Rome, he changed the Calendar. He established January 1 as the first day of the year in part as a tribute to Janus, the Roman deity of beginnings, whose two faces gave him the ability to see both the past and the future.
However, it wasn't widely accepted until the middle of the 16th century CE in Europe. With the rise of Christianity, December 25—the day of Jesus' birth—became acceptable and January 1—the start of a new year—was recognised as pagan. It didn't gain widespread acceptance until Pope Gregory revised the Julian calendar and declared January 1 to be the first day of a new year.
