A typical scene in any Dutch street in any Dutch town at New Year. A sight that starts after the 12 o' clock /midnight strikes and lasts for 2 hours at least, well into the wee small hours.
Fireworks are normally brought in from Belgium, Germany and other surrounding countries and are highly explosive and very, very loud. Some of the 'super bangers' damage the road surfaces. The impact craters are visible in the morning and add to the growing number of potholes and other obstacles already on the road.
The Dutch don't really do Xmas in the same way as some other countries but like Scotland, they do enjoy their New Year celebrations. Probably one of the few times they are known to happily burn money for fun!
