5. Write your wishes on NYE Times Square confetti

Wishes written on confetti for the New Year's Eve ball drop

The confetti that rains down on Times Square at midnight isn’t regular confetti. The official Times Square New Year’s Eve confetti is made up of pieces of paper that contain the wishes of people from all over the world. You can share your wish for 2023 by visiting the Wishing Wall in person, but hurry up, it closes on December 28th at 8 PM!

If you can’t make it over to Times Square in person, you can submit your wish to the digital wishing wall. When submitted digitally, your wishes are printed out and added to the thousands of pieces of confetti that fall. Wishes that are digitally submitted after December 28th will be held onto for next year’s celebration.
