daijs:
《「旦」は朝の意》
    1 1月1日の朝。元朝。元旦。《季 新年》「―や芭蕉たたへて山籠 (やまごも) り/蛇笏」
    2 「歳旦開き」の略。
  Comments:
daijs rather unusually points out specifically that 旦 = 朝.

sankoku and daijs both say morning, and both xref the far, far more common 元旦.

Every single news reference is to 歳旦祭, and a majority of twitter hits on "歳旦" are for 歳旦祭(さいたんさい), which says to me that this is even more rare as a generic use of "new year's morning". Maybe not [rare], but comparatively [rare] next to 元旦.
