Get ready for the upcoming New Year’s Eve celebrations as 2025 is just around the corner! Decider has all the details you need to make the most of bidding adieu to 2024 with a fantastic countdown.
For those wanting to tune into the excitement, Times Square’s website offers a free live stream for the countdown. Additionally, major networks like ABC, CNN, and CBS are set to broadcast their traditional New Year’s Eve specials. ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest starts at 8:00 p.m. ET, featuring Ryan Seacrest and Rita Ora as hosts. The show will culminate with a lively performance by Carrie Underwood singing her greatest hits just before the stroke of midnight.
If country music is more your style for ushering in the new year, check out New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash airing live on CBS and Paramount+ via Showtime. Hosted by Keith Urban and Rachel Smith, this special boasts a lineup of top country music artists including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Tyler Hubbard, Miranda Lambert, Post Malone, Shaboozey, Brittney Spencer, Chris Stapleton, Zach Top, and Lainey Wilson for an unforgettable night.
Last but never least, New Yearâs Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen will stream live on CNN and Max. In addition to the infectious banter between Andy and Anderson, New Year’s Eve Live includes performances by Meghan Trainor, Sting, Diplo, Lil Jon, Patti LaBelle, and Shania Twain.
But what if you’re looking to celebrate NYE a little early? Great question. Netflix offers a slew of countdown videos for kids on its YouTube page. Here’s how to stream all the fun online.
There are a variety of countdown options on Netflix and Netflix’s YouTube page, but it doesn’t look like the streamer will be adding any new countdowns to ring in 2025.
As we mentioned above, there are several family-friendly countdown options available on Netflix and YouTube. Skylander’s Academy: New Year’s Eve Countdown is 90 seconds of amusement and is currently streaming on Netflix.
