How to Watch 2025 New Year’s Eve Ball Drop Countdown Live Online
What’s the perfect movie to watch on New Year’s Eve?
You obviously can’t go wrong with When Harry Met Sally, While You Were Sleeping, Home Alone, A Christmas Story, or any of the Charlie Brown holiday specials, but my personal favorite is It’s a Wonderful Life. Now streaming on Prime Video, Frank Capra’s feel-good classic is sure to put a smile on your face.
But what if you’re looking to stream the New Year’s Eve countdown? Good news! We can help you out with that, too!
