Description

COVID has put a wrench in New Year's Eve celebrations globally. According to CNN, the best view of fireworks in most major cities will be from your couch.

This includes: London: Their iconic fireworks show over the River Thames is canceled. England is under tough stay-at-home restrictions. New York: The ball will drop in Times Square, but the event is closed to the public. Dubai: Will move forward with their NYE celebrations, with 11 places to watch fireworks.
