The holidays are over, and we all know what that means—it’s time to face reality. But let’s be real: who would be ready to welcome the New Year without Baby, the grumpy, master of time and cynical mascot of New Year’s Eve? Baby might not be the first one you think of when you imagine festive cheer, but that’s exactly why he’s so essential. A little cranky, a little self-centered, and entirely unimpressed by the hoopla of midnight celebrations, Baby’s got a refreshingly jaded perspective on the holiday season. He’s the type who’s not afraid to call out the madness of the New Year’s Eve rush, yet deep down, you know he’s just as desperate for a fresh start as the rest of us. Without Baby’s wit and grumpy charm, would the New Year really be the same? Probably not.

Meet Ali Gohar
Bringing Baby to life with his signature blend of sarcastic humor and surprising depth is actor Ali Gohar, a talented Edmonton-based artist who adds a unique touch to the character. Known for his dynamic voice work and passion for storytelling, Ali brings Baby’s dry, world-weary attitude to the forefront. His ability to capture the perfect balance of frustration and reluctant optimism gives Baby the heart he might not always show—and it’s a performance you won’t forget. If you’re familiar with Ali’s work in the local scene, you know he’s a versatile talent who always brings his A-game—and his portrayal of Baby is no exception.
