In August they were silenced - except for special occasions - to allow for crucial four-year repairs to the Elizabeth Tower, which houses the bell.
In early 2018 the Great Clock will be dismantled piece by piece, with each cog examined and restored.
:: PM: 'Can't be right' for Big Ben to be silent for four years during restoration work
Whilst the clock mechanism is temporarily out of action, a modern electric motor will drive the hands until it is reinstated, according to officials.
Service will be resumed until 1pm on New Year's Day, before the bell falls silent once more.
Steve Jaggs, Keeper of the Great Clock, said: 'The joyful striking of Big Ben will ring in the festive season for Londoners, visitors, and the millions of viewers who use it as a focal point to celebrate the New Year.
:: How much? Big Ben repair bill doubles as Elizabeth Tower cost reaches £61m
"Big Ben falling silent has been a significant milestone in this crucial conservation project, but it has always been planned that its chimes would ring out across Whitehall for special occasions, where possible.
"As Keeper of the Great Clock, my team of clock makers and I have the great honour of ensuring this beautiful piece of Victorian engineering remains an accurate time piece on a daily basis.
"This essential programme of works will safeguard it for future generations, as well as protecting and conserving the Elizabeth Tower."
The £61m conservation project includes the repair of the tower, which houses the Great Clock, and its bell.
The 96-metre-tall Elizabeth Tower is believed to be the country's most photographed building.
