How Orange County made Times Square’s 2025 ball shine
This year, Times Square’s iconic New Year’s Eve Ball features sparkling crystal triangles handcrafted by Gillinder Glass, a historic company based in Port Jervis, New York. Using traditional glass-making techniques dating back to 1861, the team produced 2,688 unique glass tiles for the ball, which weighs nearly 12,000 pounds and spans 12 feet in diameter. FOX 5's Stephanie Bertini discovers how these artisans brought their expertise to one of the world’s most-watched celebrations.
