New Year's Resolutions


Technically this is correct.


I don't think so

That would mean that the New Year would posses the resolutions

That's why it is correct. it's the reason new year's resolution is always preceded by another possessive. For example My NY's R, Your NY's R, Bob's NY's R...

The resolutions belong to the new year.

Hence, it is New Year's Resolutions.
