To help start 2021, several celebrities make special appearances, including Carson Kressley and ‘This Is Us’ star Chrissy Metz, who will be performing a special musical performance.
The program also looks at how Chicagoans have stood out for each other and their communities over the past year.
Also, it wouldn’t be the New Year without some fun games, including one that puts the knowledge of local Chicago frontline workers to the test.
The countdown to the New Year will also feature an uplifting performance recorded by the Chicago Children’s Choir.
