In a matter of moments, we get to kick 2024 to the trash bins and usher in a fresh new start via 2025. A lot has happened this year, in and out of reality television. Therefore, it is natural we are reflecting on all that transpired while hoping that the new year treats us with even softer gloves. But we do have to admit, when we think of New Year’s Eve celebrations, Bravo always springs to our minds.
Why? Because several Real Housewives cities have given us iconic New Year’s Eve-themed moments. Does “Give me pizza, you old troll” ring any bells?
Likewise, Andy Cohen is the face of Bravo. And this man rings in every ball drop live from Times Square with his buddy, Anderson Copper. While this special technically airs on CNN, clips of each year’s festivities often arrive back on Bravo, proving that all roads lead back to this network at some point or another.

This year, our daddies are likely to drink their juice. So, three cheers for a good time. And all the cheers to these top five(ish) New Year’s Eve celebrations on Bravo.
In 2010, Andy hosted a two-hour-long New Year’s Eve Spectacular special on Watch What Happens Live. It was wild. Stars like NeNe Leakes, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Lisa Vanderpump, Dina Manzo, Tamra Judge, Jeff Lewis, Jenni Pulos, Sandra Bernhard, and Meghan McCain attended, and the chaos was next level.
Jenni performed an original rap as NeNe blooped and bopped in the background. Meanwhile, Jeff provided the snark while Lisa and Dina presented their pets for a wedding, courtesy of Giggy and Grandma Wrinkles. RIP to you both, sweet fur babies.
A wig drop brought these chaos carriers into 2011, where Andy and Tamra shared a semi-passionate kiss in front of her then-boyfriend, who cared little. Then, as the lights dimmed on the year 2010, Kim embraced the microphone, throwing her heart and wig-loving soul into a rousing performance of her cult classic, Tardy for the Party.
This special presented like a fever dream. And we loved every second.
