At/In the beginning of each year, Harry likes to make a few New Year's

At/In the beginning of each year, Harry likes to make a few New Year's resolutions.

Should I use At or In in the above sample? And could you explain the reason behind what should be used in a few words? Thanks.

Use at -- you are speaking of a point in time. Use in (though it is not so common in this kind of context) when you are speaking of some durational quality of time.
