4 New Year’s Eve Specials to Ring in 2016

Pop the champagne and grab the remote control, because the hottest parties and performances this New Year’s Eve are right on your television. “Things always happen that are unpredictable, crazy, fun and moving,” says Ryan Seacrest, who once again hosts the ABC broadcast that has become an NYE staple, thanks to the late Dick Clark. “What makes every show special is the spontaneity of the night—whether it’s in performances or something that happens with spectators. And I’m always on the lookout for the romantic proposal!” Plan your night accordingly with this year’s lineup.
