As the clock struck midnight and the world welcomed 2025, TLC Creative had the privilege of being part of the iconic Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. This event, held in the heart of Times Square, is nothing short of legendary. We are immensely grateful to Dick Clark Productions for the opportunity to contribute to such a spectacular evening. Moreover, working alongside the incomparable Carrie Underwood, who dazzled as the final act before the ball drop, made the night even more unforgettable.
The Iconic Times Square Ball Drop: A Look Back in Time
To begin, let’s explore the rich history of the Times Square ball drop, which has become a global symbol of celebration and renewal. The tradition started in 1907, when fireworks were banned in New York City. Organizers innovated with a brilliant alternative: a glowing ball that would descend at midnight. The first ball was modest by today’s standards, constructed from wood and iron, lit with 100 incandescent bulbs, and weighing 700 pounds.
Over time, the ball has undergone remarkable transformations. The current version, introduced in 2008, is an engineering masterpiece. Not only does it feature 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles, but it also includes 32,256 energy-efficient LED lights. Weighing an impressive 11,875 pounds, it symbolizes the progress of modern technology. Every year, millions of attendees and over a billion viewers worldwide unite to watch this spectacular event.

Highlights from New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2025
Last night’s celebration exemplified why this event remains a cornerstone of New Year’s traditions. To start, Ryan Seacrest served as the evening’s host, bringing his signature energy and charisma. His co-hosts, Liza Koshy and Jessie James Decker, added warmth and humor, ensuring the crowd remained engaged from start to finish.
Next came the stunning performances, which set the stage for the night’s climax. Among them, Carrie Underwood stood out as a true highlight. Her set, carefully curated to build anticipation for the midnight ball drop, included several of her most beloved hits. Thanks to TLC Creative’s visual effects and stage enhancements, her performance sparkled even brighter.
Additionally, the event featured other incredible acts. The Jonas Brothers, Dua Lipa, and Post Malone delivered unforgettable performances, ensuring there was something for everyone. Moreover, surprise appearances by Billy Porter and Ciara added even more excitement to the star-studded lineup.
The Magic Behind the Scenes
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the tireless work of the production team. From directors and producers to lighting designers and stagehands, every individual contributed to making the night seamless. Furthermore, the coordination between performers, crews, and technical teams ensured that every moment unfolded perfectly.
