Many of us will play the New Year at home this year – and close the door in 2020.
Although there are no large crowds in Times Square in New York, the ball will still fall and you can watch it on TV from the comfort of your couch (as some of us already do).
It would be better not to attend the parties to limit the spread of COVID-19, so instead, you can tune in to the various channels that will be broadcasting live.
