The design this year for the ball high above Times Square on Broadway between 42nd and 43rd streets that drops at the stroke of midnight is called Gift of Happiness. This year s theme is happiness, so I would honestly say, and I think everybody would agree with me, that happiness is probably the most apt design theme that we could ever have because 2020 has been a tumultuous year for everybody, Waterford Crystal Master Artisan Tom Brennan told WABC.
