The 10 best Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve shout-outs in movies and TV

There are some constants to New Year's Eve: champagne, silly hats and horns, the prospect of a New Year's kiss — but one thing that never disappoints is Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, a holiday tradition that has lasted for 47 years and counting. Ryan Seacrest has hosted the special from Times Square since 2005, but the tradition of watching the ball drop after a slew of musical performances has become so enduring that it's popped up in pop culture everywhere from Friends to Forrest Gump. This year Seacrest returns to ABC at 8 p.m. ET alongside cohosts Jenny McCarthy, Lucy Hale, and Ciara. Musical performers include Kelsea Ballerini, the Chainsmokers, Dua Lipa, Charlie Puth, and more.
