Celebrate the New Year With CBC!
Join CBC for a Canada-wide party to bid farewell to 2024 and welcome 2025
Ring in the New Year with CBC as we celebrate Canada and Canadians!
Canada's longest-running TV comedy series kicks off CBC's New Year's Eve lineup with the hour-long 22 Minutes New Year's Eve Pregame Special. The award-winning ensemble of This Hour Has 22 Minutes — Aba Amuquandoh, Stacey McGunnigle, Trent McClellan, Chris Wilson and Mark Critch — get together to give 2024 a proper send-off. Joining them will be comedy legend Colin Mochrie and The Great Canadian Baking Show's Alan Shane Lewis, among other special guests. Begin your New Year's celebration with an hour of satire and laughs at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC TV and CBC Gem.
And join CBC News chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault and co-host of The National Ian Hanomansing for Canada Live! Countdown 2025 as they count down to the New Year all night long, live across six time zones. Arsenault will be with co-host and award-winning recording artist Jann Arden in Toronto, while Hanomansing co-hosts with comedian and actor Ali Hassan in Vancouver. They'll welcome familiar faces and surprise guests as they celebrate with communities from coast to coast to coast, capturing the New Year's Eve festivities all across Canada. And you can submit your own well wishes for the new year via email, to appear throughout the show.
It all begins at 8 p.m. ET on CBC News Network, 9 p.m. local time on CBC TV and CBC Radio, and streaming on CBC News, CBC Gem, the CBC News YouTube channel, and on your smart TV.
And on CBC Music, Odario Williams will bring the last great bash of 2024 straight into your home with the New Year's Eve edition of Afterdark, with a dancefloor mix of tracks to soothe your soul, free your mind and get you on your feet. That's from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. local time, 9:30 in Newfoundland, everywhere you get CBC Music.
