It doesn't matter if you're stuck at work, at home sick, or simply don't have the means to join the global party, there's no reason for you to miss the New Year's Eve celebration in New York's Time Square.

Yes, there will be a few New Year's Eve shows broadcasting the festivities from New York City, but if you want the official livestream delivering real-time action, the official Time Square site has what you need.

Beginning at 6 p.m. ET, the livestream will feature commercial-free backstage looks at the performers, celebrities and the real New Yorkers (and our beloved visitors) as they brave 20-degree temperatures all in the name of ringing in 2017 in the city that never sleeps.

The livestream can also be viewed on your mobile phone, just in case you want to celebrate on the go.

In the meantime, have fun, be safe, and we'll see you in 2017!
