There are two sentences:

I might go to Finland at New Year.

I might go to Finland for the New Year.

Are both correct? If so, what is the difference, please?

The first tells us the time of your trip.
The second tells us the reason for your trip.

1. I might go to Finland at New Year.
2. I might go to Finland for [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] New Year.

Are both correct? If so, what is the difference, please?

With my correction, they're both grammatically correct.

The first means that you will go sometime around the end of December and beginning of January. The second means that your reason for going is to celebrate New Year (the celebrations on the night of December 31st).
