People from all over the world bundled up in layers (and even adult diapers!) to brave the freezing temps and light snow for the 2026 Times Square ball drop. Some camped out since morning, sacrificing comfort and bathroom breaks for that once-in-a-lifetime countdown. For a few, it was about more than just the party—one couple even planned a midnight proposal after years apart. Is the magic of ringing in the New Year in Times Square worth the cold and chaos? Would you do it for the experience, or is it better to watch from home? #Culture #TimesSquare #BallDrop2026
