Watch: Sneak peek at Times Square's New Year's Eve ball

As 2025 draws to a close, New York City has been testing its brand new 'Constellation Ball' for the Times Square New Year's Eve celebrations.

It is the largest New Year's Eve Ball ever, containing 5,280 Waterford crystals and LED light pucks.

It will remain dark until the final countdown, seconds before midnight tonight.
