It’s time to say goodbye to 2023 and hello to 2024. Whether you’re ringing in the New Year with a huge group of friends or staying in with close loved ones and/or pets, watching the ball drop at midnight is a tradition for many. This year there are a few different options to watch the New Year’s Eve festivities on TV and online, depending on whether you’d rather spend the last few hours of 2023 with Ryan Seacrest and a number of famous performers or a possibly tipsy Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper or even a who’s who of country artists.
Here’s what to watch on New Year’s Eve so you can make your plans and fire up the appropriate streaming service.
