New Year's Eve is only a few short days away, so we're preparing for our celebrations to ring in 2025. It's all good whether you're hitting the city or staying in for the festivities.
If you're planning on staying in and want to watch the Ball Drop, say in New York in Times Square, then look no further than checking out Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2025! This year's installment will be jam-packed with musical stars and international highlights.
2025 will be NYRE's 53rd, and will be highlighting 2024's biggest events in music and pop culture.
"The show, which marks its 53rd year, celebrates the year’s very best in music with hours of dynamic performances, America’s favorite personalities, and a look at New Year’s celebrations around the globe."
Speaking of global celebrations, Australia will kick in the New Year fourteen hours before the East Coast, and for a short period, the world will be in two different years for a brief period. The same logic can be applied to the East Coast and Hawaiian time, as it'll be 7 PM there and Midnight in New York.
As we all know, Seacrest rocketed the media careers of the Kardashians and Jenners. He was the executive producer of the family's E! show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and its respective spinoffs.
ABC will be your spot to watch Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2025
ABC will be your go-to network to take in Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2025 spacial. It'll air live at 8 PM EST/7 PM CST on December 31st and end at 12 AM EST/11 PM CST.
Seacrest took over as the special's host on December 31st, 2004, when the original host, Dick Clark, retired. This year's installment will mark his 20th anniversary. Since it's a career milestone for Seacrest, I'm hoping ABC will unveil flashback clips of past NYRE shows and how America has evolved since then. I'm all for historical nostalgia; these elements would give the show major bonus points.
Additionally, superstar Rita Ora and Dayanara Torres will once again join Seacrest as his co-hosts. According to a press release Kardashian Dish obtained, Torres will ring in the new year in Puerto Rico.
You can read the release below!
"In his 20th year as host of America’s most-watched New Year’s Eve special, Ryan Seacrest will lead the countdown to midnight alongside global superstar Rita Ora live from Times Square. Dayanara Torres returns as co-host in Puerto Rico."
Additional hosts include NFL retiree Rob Gronkowski and TV personality Jeannie Mai. Gronkowski will be covering NYE content from Las Vega, while Mai will be on location in Los Angeles.
ABC further launched a thirty-second preview of New Year's Rockin' Eve, with some of the announced musical guests and what to expect.
"Now, there's a reason to celebrate," Seacrest says in the clip.
