Watch New Year's Eve 2013 Ball Drop Live Online!

For those who couldn't travel to NYC and wait in Times Square this year, the New Year's Eve 2013 ball drop can be witnessed live streaming online.  There are several ways to watch the free video feed or webcam coverage online, for anyone who can't get to a TV, or Times Square, in time for the big event.  Keep in mind these won't be like watching TV online, they will be different from the televised specials.

The first way is to check out the official NY Times Square website.  This site will provide a free live streaming webcast video feed, beginning at 6PM EST on Monday night.  The webcast is scheduled to last until 12:15AM EST on the first day of the New Year 2013.

In addition to the webcast, there are also apps available for both the iPhone and Android, for owners of handheld or mobile devices to watch the live stream coverage from NYC.  See below for more details on where to download.

Another site offering a Times Square webcam view is Earthcams.com.  The site presents a live look at the area via a webcam feed, showing just how massive a crowd has assembled in Time Square, NYC.  Once the live feed is capturing the hysteria of the event later on, people watching will be in full swing to see everyone celebrating the passing of 2012, and the coming of 2013.   The site not only boasts several different online views of Times Square, but also the NYE celebrations around the world, from country to country.  Check out more here.

Some may want to simply watch the ball drop on TV instead of online.  For those who prefer the traditional route to see the ball drop on television, there will be the annual specials on ABC, CBS, CNN, MTV, NBC and PBS to ring in the New Year.

We wish everyone a safe New Year's Eve 2013, and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year full of great travels and trips around the world!
