As preparations for Wednesday’s festivities reach their peak, Waterford Crystal, the official partner for the iconic New Year's Eve ball, revealed their work and how they incorporated "life, liberty, and happiness," the official theme for this year’s Times Square celebration.

Inspired by the Declaration of Independence, the meticulous crystals on the ball are designed to reflect this patriotic sentiment, offering a visual representation of the country's founding principles in their world-famous craftsmanship.

Bentley Hardwick, the president of Waterford, expressed the significance of the moment. "It's the beginning of a new time for our nation's history and just the idea about moving forward with momentum is one that we're all very, very excited about here at Times Square and also at Waterford," she said.

This artistic tribute is expected to be even more breathtaking when viewed live, serving as a glittering symbol of the momentum and excitement heading into the new year.
