Away from the crowds of the New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square, New York City typically rings in the new year with fireworks displays from Central Park to Coney Island. But for 2025, some had to cancel or change their plans due to ongoing drought conditions.

Cohen and Anderson Cooper returned to co-host CNN‘s 'New Year’s Eve Live' this year.

To watch the display from the tower’s GeO-Deck, viewers have to be guests of Hyatt Regency Dallas or the Crown Block restaurant. In addition, the show will be streamed live on KXAS-TV (NBC 5), YouTube and on Reunion Tower’s social media pages.
