The Foti family are the ones who design, synchronise and build our fireworks displays every year! Thirteen Foti Family members and 200 employees and ten months of hard work created this! I have to give them all the credit, every year and every major event! 🥰🎉🇦🇺😃
That’s cool to know! I was wondering how much work was involved when they (the govt?) threatened to cancel the fireworks in response to the train strikes, like how feasible even is that? I guess it would have been unrealistic to cancel like two weeks out.
One great thing is they actually do it twice. They have a 9:00 o'clock show for families with young children. The Sydney harbor foreshore is open to the public. Plus, anyone who owns a boat in Sydney is usually on the harbor that night. This adds up to over a million people watching the fireworks live.
Foti who do the Sydney fireworks have an interesting history. Started 1793 in Italy. Celestino Foti came to Australia in World War 2 as prisoner of war. He later migrated and then family joined him. Worked at a fireworks company then bought the business. Still a family business in Sydney.
We Aussies are proud to have the Foti family put this amazing display of the best fireworks on the planet in Sydney is epic! Happy new year 2025 everyone! 🧨🎊❤😊
Their father worked for Vulcan fireworks, I remember their fireworks in mixed bags in the 1970s. Snow storm, Changing lights still got some in a bag at home.
Ryan this wasn’t just the harbour and the bridge, this went for 7 kilometres!! The same company has been doing it for years. They start planning before new years last year and it gets better and more every year!!

I’ve been living in Australia for 22 years. I was born in the UK black Jamaican and I thought the UK had really good fireworks but Sydney is the best in the world. It’s amazing. It’s magical. It’s so spectacular you can’t beat it anywhere else. The people and the environment everybody is respectful. There are two firework events one at 9 o’clock fireworks for the children who stay out late to watch them and the 12 o’clock fireworks. It’s fantastic. It’s what makes Sydney New Year the best🎉 Go SYDNEY✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I think Sydney always has the best New Year fireworks because it has such a magnificent backdrop. Sydney harbour is beautiful and the way the fireworks go off from the bridge is magical. One year I watched the fireworks from a manly ferry on the harbour and it was the best view without the crowds. I live in Queensland now but still tune in and watch the Sydney fireworks. 😊😊😊
@cherylemaybury9967 have you seen the show from South Bank or better still Kangaroo Point. It is pretty. spectacular as they do the same idea as Syd Harbour with the show over several klms stretches of the Brisbane Rv including the Story Bridge & multi story buildings and the winding river scape
@@jamesrichardson4741 Yes, but inflation is a thing and things are more expensive nowadays anyways. Also, i'd like to see you try to compose a music piece using key music features once you learn, you then can have an opinion about how good or bad the music is. Props to Luna Pan
I love the finale because the music sounds like a fighting game stage while the entire bridge is just EXPLODING!! I love when they do the golden waterfall. It's not the first time they've done it, and I'm glad they keep doing it. Cheers for shouting out Perth! Happy New Year to you too! 🎊🎉
Happy New Year to you and yours, Ryan. We are kind of proud of our fireworks on the world's most spectacular harbour. Yes, the timing is everything...as is the music 🇦🇺 🐨
Nine tonnes of fireworks were set off in the $6.3 million display. For the first time, the show featured fireworks exploding from drones midair as well as from the western side of the Harbour Bridge. More than a million people gathered around the city to watch the display. The display was set to a soundtrack composed by Australian musician Luna Pan, and saw 53,500 fireworks set off around the harbour, including from the top of the Sydney Opera House and CBD skyscrapers. It took 15 months of planning.
Amazing that they start planning months before the previous NYE execution, which likely started planning months before the previous one, and on it goes. Colossal projects taking over a year to pull together. Brilliantly executed.
When there was talk of possibly having to cancel the NYE Sydney fireworks due to a transport strike I immediately felt sympathy for the Foti organisation that has been the envy of other fireworks companies around the world. They’re a family company with several generations of successful migrants from Italy who are experts in fireworks. They must have been having kittens, if not heart attacks 😳 💔…. What a relief that it went ahead after all. Oh to be a fly on the wall during the final discussions when it was all resolved! I’m sure they had a major part to play and can get back to planning the next one. 😊
The Sydney Harbour fireworks is an amazing experience with amazing singers and fun facts there was nearly 100 tons of fireworks for the two shows and the fireworks are supposed to be in time with the music. Happy Late New Year from South Australia, Australia 🇦🇺

@@95rav Well good for them, so let's cater this video just for them then shall we, considering most of those on lookers don't even know about this channel, some don't even go on TH-cam, and don't necessarily need to watch it all again, and what about the zillion other people around the world who don't always like to watch a long video, or just happened to stumble across this channel on their way to going out for the night, and just wanted to watch a few minutes, it's not all about you ya know, it's hard to please all people around the entire world to watch a single video, you are a good example of that, so how about being appreciative of Ryan who was thinking of other people, again something people lack, you may want to watch from 6:55 where he even explains why he said it, maybe take that attention span of yours for a test run. I for one have no problem of a full video, but others might disagree, and just like you, it's not all about me either, hence trying to make everyone happy, You do know Ryan also has other channels to do videos for other countries too, he is even a family man, not only does he have to cater for everyone who watches videos for different parts of the world, be it supported or like some, not, and he also has to do family duties too which has a higher priority than doing stuff on TH-cam. TH-cam is a big place you know, I'm sure you can find a full-length video elsewhere to watch, instead of giving negative comments, because God forbid, this video was not all about you. If you reply to this with more rubbish, then you just instantly made it about you, so in saying that, and instead of letting it go and moving on, I wouldn't be surprised that you reply to this, if anything I'd expect it, this is my last reply regardless of what you say or do, because I have better things to do than to go around in circles with people who are too self-involved, so that being said, have a great New Year, and hope 2025 is a good one for you, take care.
@zro_dfects Then don't watch a reaction video. Simple. I guess you would be the type to trust a movie review where the critic watches the opening scene then jumps straight to the end credits.
Happy New Year, Ryan and family. Ten years ago, on New Year's Eve, I was in the middle of the harbor on a cruise, surrounded by fireworks. The 360-degree view was spectacular.
@@infin8ee There is also 9:00 shows in Adelaide too Glenelg, Brighton and the City are the ones I am aware of, although more than likely there is others
Nothing beats watching Sydney's NYE fireworks near the harbour. Amazing and unforgettable! Happy New Year to you and your family! Wishing you all the very best for the new year!
Yeah I was watching the fireworks from a beach right across the harbour and I could see them from there. I swear half the population was there or something
20yrs ago i got transfer to Sydney and lived right there near opera house..My first NYE show was amazing and each yr improves..i used to walk my dog all around the area at night and found best spot of all to watch each year..what people cant see is when you turn around to see city..only about 3 blocks away ...is many of Xydneys high rise buildings have fireworks soaring off the top of them. Its an event everyone from around the world should experience as never forgotten even now up north in tropics i still get amazed with them....
Happy New Year to you and your family from an Aussie living in Edinburgh, always love watching your reactions to Australia 😊. Would definitely watch a live at the end of this year (is 9.30am 1/1/25 as I write this) 🎉🎉🎉
One of my besties won a Sydney radio comp back in the day, and we got to be on Sydney Harbour in a gorgeous boat partying right in front of the Harbour Bridge and after the count down we got to hit the button and start the fireworks 🎆 over Sydney Harbour for the New Year. A surreal once in a lifetime thing! NOW THAT WAS EXTRA! 😉❤😁🇦🇺 HAPPY NEW YEAR RYAN & EVERYBODY ❤ 2025 YAY!!!!!
Would love to see you watching the fireworks live for the next New Year. They just keep getting better year after year. Happy New Year! 🎇 From Australia 🇦🇺
Why don't you make a plan to bring you and your family here for New Years in 2026 Ryan!??!!? Start working on it now. I'm sure there will be an Aussie family who will put you up for a week or so to be here for the event! Come on Aussies, what say you?
@@deboraholoughiln1152 It's has been my long and wealth of experience that Australians are very friendly and accomodating to visitors to this country. It's also been my experience that people in a strange place enjoy and welcome friendly people rather than being alone and isolated due to not knowing the people OR the culture that they find themselves in. You must be a singular case that finds this not true.
I don't have a big place, but i would be happy to vacte for them, busses at the door right to the city! ( or if they want ne to stay i can play tourist guid but i would deffinatly relocate my dooggo for the time :) )
@@amberants Well done Amberants I would do it too, but I don't own a house. I'm renting. There you go, Ryan your accommodations all handled now you've just gotta find enough money for the flights.
Just for a brief moment prior to the video playing, you scrolled down a tad bit and I saw my comment on that video😂 I had my eyes peeled for it❤🎉 Happy new years either way!!!
From Australia ❤ HAPPY NEW YEAR to you & all you're loved ones be safe be well. 🍾🎉🥂 We out do ourselves every year. Best fireworks display with the best pyrotechnician's in the world!! Cost 2024/25 = $7.8M Fun fact: 1976 was Sydney's 1st ever NYE fireworks display. We also added a 9pm show for the kids which was a great addition. I'm old & I've seen every NYE fireworks since 1985 -2024/25 & hope to many more
Happy New Year Ryan and family 🎉. The fireworks were stupendous but my favourite bit was the bit where while everyone was waiting for the countdown, Robbie Williams sang John Farnhams’ “You’re the Voice “ and everyone joined in. That was special.
Happy New Year from Mandurah Western Australia 🎇🎆🎇🎆 wishing you and yours a fantastic 2025, with only great things coming your way, health, happiness and love for all ❤
Brought a tear to my eye. We went to bed early after a long flight back from Perth and missed these fireworks. I am so proud to be a Sydneysider born and bred.
There was over a million people around the harbour watching this, I watch it on the telly as I live 4 hours away, we have fireworks over our river starting at 9pm lasting about 20min so I get to watch our town fireworks live, then Sydney on my telly at midnight yay. Happy New year to you and your family Ryan ❤🎉
It's the same time down the whole Eastern seaboard... AEDT), and every capital city (Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Hobart) has these firework shows. I think Melbourne's is available online, too. Xx
Happy New Year Ryan! Thank you for all of your reaction videos. You have cracked me up at least once per reaction throughout 2024, so you have legitimately made me smile and laugh every day! 😂 Wishing you and your family a stress free and fabulous 2025 ❤
Don't get to annoyed at urself for not thinking of a live stream earlier😅. If I didn't watch ur video then I never wouldn't of even seen Sydney's fireworks & I LIVE IN ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA🇦🇺, So well done and Thank You 🎉 happy new year 🎆
Sydney fireworks are epic to watch & even better to be there in person. Although, the crowds are insane! 1 million were there NYE Definitely worth doing it one year though, you'd love it. Happy New Year & thanks for the video xx
We live in Sydney and usually just watch on TV but this year we ended up at a venue where we could see just the top of the bridge and 3 of the barge's results in the sky. We watched the broadcast version the next evening and it just can't capture the amazing brilliance accurately enough. Watching on a big screen has massive advantages because it's such a H U G E undertaking to get to a good vantage point to see it live. But yeah, so proud of my city and every year we think we've reached a pinnacle, and every year it's better than the last. The Foti family deserve so much credit. HAPPY NEW YEAR and all the best wishes to everyone for 2025! Cheers from Oz!!
Happy new year. The countdown happened on the concert stage outside the Opera House, with the performer Robbie Williams and the hosts of the concert telecast from Channel 2 ABC who have hosted this for the last few years. The fireworks are put together by the Foti family who have been doing fireworks in Australia for decades.
yeah you were right in the finale then zipped forward xD I watched it live on Aussie TV. Sydney has like the best fireworks in the world and they plan it all year. Happy 2025.🥳
Happy New Year Ryan and family 🎆🎉🥂 I'm from Melbourne, Australia and decided to watch Melbourne's fireworks, it was spectacular !!!! But I have to say, with Sydney having the iconic bridge, they sure outshone everyone again this year 😀🥰💜
I'm so pleased that you did this, as my TV isn't picking up the channels at the moment, so I wasn't able to watch the amazing Sydney Firework display this year. I didn't want you to skip through it, but I understand. I loved seeing your jaw drop at the magnificence of it. I agree, it sure is mind blowing how we can be in different years all over the world at the same time. I've been enjoying your videos. Thank you. You always make me laugh. Happy New Year, Ryan. May it bring you love, joy, prosperity and contentment. With love from Alison Hood from the southwest of Western Australia💕.
Robbie Williams also gave a concert prior to the fireworks next to the opera house! We got to see this live across Australia ! An amazing night!!! We have pretty amazing fireworks at all then major cities. Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth……. But the Sydney over the Harbour is the best!!!
Ryan, mate, you have ended your 2024 reactions with the most intelligent words you have ever said. I have bagged you in the past for your naivety (but still always admitted I love your reactions) and probably will in 2025. "OMG, put your phones down". I cannot believe almost everyone in that crowd was watching through their phone screens! Why bother going? Stay home and watch it on TV through your phone screen. Happy New Year mate, awesome observation.
You’d be surprised. They watch the fireworks while holding their phones high knowing wherever they point they catch something of the spectacle. It’s all fine. It’s just people preserving moments of joy. 💕🎆
Happy New Year Ryan and family. I love your reactions. I cant wait for the day you finally travel down under! There will be alot of people would love to meet up with you and show you around. ❤
Happy New Year Ryan🎉& Family🎉 Fun fact we gave fireworks in most towns put on by our local councils. My town of under twenty thousand people has it down by the river at 9pm with a family fair type atmosphere food vans etc from 5pm Ours went for 10 minuetes & was really pretty.🎉
Hi from Sydney Australia, that was our new years fireworks. Of course I didn't go this year, used to go as a young girl. Watched on TV, happy new years so far 2025 has been a hot one
there are 1.6 million people on the Sydney Harbour Foreshores some getting in line almost 12 hours early there were total of 23,000 individual fireworks 13 Aerial shells 40,000 ground effects that were fired off in 16 locations including barges, drone carrying platforms, CBD buildings & the Sydney Harbour Bridge which was also illuminated by 20 sky tracker light beams & there were 26,500 lightshots at the bridge & the firework shots were in 264 spots on the bridge with 80 new positions on the western side of the bridge for the fist time ever so yeah the worlds best New Years Eve every year & OHHHHHHH thank you to the Fotis greatest NYE pyrotechnic operators in the world
I can actually see the Sydney fireworks from my balcony and have a stunning view of them 1 Street down! So here I am though watching Ryan watch our fireworks from America 😂.
My sister used to live in Kirribilli so we used to wander down with the kids for the 9pm display and then someone/s would stay home with the sleeping children while the rest wandered back down for the midnight ones. Was awesome! Especially when the kids were little.
We are very lucky, I can't think of anywhere else in the world more perfect for a Fireworks display. The bridge is the perfect structure to act as a centrepiece, the harbour is beautiful and provides so many amazing vantage points for the crowds - over 1 million I hear in the news. Harbour provides reflections from the water, a vast open space for the fireworks themselves. It's just magic. People here sometimes complain about the money spent, but really it makes money for the city, as it's the NUMBER ONE place in the whole world renowned for NYE, and gets lots of international visitors.
Me - a proud Aussie 🇦🇺 who lives in North Queensland, watching your reaction matey 🥲💛🎆 Made me more proud to be an Aussie than I did NYE watching this spectacular show at midnight with my partner and 3 kiddos ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ Your reaction was so humbling 🤗 Thank you so so much for reacting to this 🙏 ❤
Happy New Year Ryan! I watched it from next to the Ferris wheel behind the bridge. Sensational in person. Feeling it as much as seeing it. Hope you get to see it in person one day. Cheers! 🎉
So when are you visiting our beautiful city? I didn't see these live this year but I felt the reverberations from my home 7 miles away. They are truly amazing!
Fireworks are big for Australian New Year not all to the Sydney Harbour level but in my suburb in Melbourne fireworks go off and the Beach suburb down the way people drive to the beach area and watch a quite healthy firework display
Absolutely stunning...Sydney is amazing. The biggest city and most populated in Australia. Every time I go there, I'm in awe of the Opera House, Harbor bridge, Center Point tower. Amazing iconic city.
Hi from Western Australia. Just want to say that my algorithm is pretty serious and even gruesome (Gaza, Geopolitics, Sudan, Syria, USA...) but I set an alarm for 2pm to tune in and see what you are reacting to next 😊 I am not even sure why. Just a break from the horror I guess, but also because I like how you are genuinely interested in Australia. I hope you get to come visit sometime. WA has everything btw. Not that I am biased haha. We have three different climates in the one state - so if you are into nature we have it all over here 🙂
Yea, the serious Al Gore Rhythms. (A band I liked back at the turn of the century) May I add Ukraine? Add some music, astrophysics and philosophy to your viewing and you'll be fine. Hi, from the beautiful emerald bay of Melbourne.💋🫂🐬🦎🥂
Its an absolutely incredible experience in person, I've been 4 times. I certainly would never battle those crowds only to stuff a great moment by watching it through a 15cm phone screen glued to my face!!
Love some of your happy expressions to this one, it's like I could see your inner 8 year old enjoying himself fully. Happy New Years to your little family, I bet Jas is getting bigger now 🥰
I have not stopped talking about how you mentioned you were going to do a year in Australia! I have been expecting it each new post haha looking forward to it! PS I am an American living in Australia! 🤌🏼
Yet again a Melbourner trying to compare diamonds with coal. "But our coal is BIGGER!" Except even then it isn't because we to had over 20 launch sites around the city you probably failed to count. Just celebrate your own successes, like the most awesome cricket crowds ever. Comparing and competing with Sydney is so 1990s. Move on. We're both great but very, very different. @peachescantplay

I for one have no problem of a full video, but others might disagree, and just like you, it's not all about me either, hence trying to make everyone happy,
You do know Ryan also has other channels to do videos for other countries too, he is even a family man, not only does he have to cater for everyone who watches videos for different parts of the world, be it supported or like some, not, and he also has to do family duties too which has a higher priority than doing stuff on TH-cam.
TH-cam is a big place you know, I'm sure you can find a full-length video elsewhere to watch, instead of giving negative comments, because God forbid, this video was not all about you.
If you reply to this with more rubbish, then you just instantly made it about you, so in saying that, and instead of letting it go and moving on, I wouldn't be surprised that you reply to this, if anything I'd expect it, this is my last reply regardless of what you say or do, because I have better things to do than to go around in circles with people who are too self-involved, so that being said, have a great New Year, and hope 2025 is a good one for you, take care.
@zro_dfects Then don't watch a reaction video. Simple.
I guess you would be the type to trust a movie review where the critic watches the opening scene then jumps straight to the end credits.
Never ceases to amaze me the Sydney fireworks. Thanks to all the people who work so hard to put it all together, Great job👍
Sadly, have to sedate my cats.
@nellinightshade3358 yes, and the dogs, i didn't think of that. Hope they're ok
Happy New Year, Ryan and family. Ten years ago, on New Year's Eve, I was in the middle of the harbor on a cruise, surrounded by fireworks. The 360-degree view was spectacular.
Ryan they used 9 tonnes of fireworks for Sydney New Year's Eve spectacular, including the 9 o'clock display for the kids.
I don't think people from os know that they do a special kid's show. Makes it all the more fantastic . Such an amazing spectacular event!
@@infin8ee There is also 9:00 shows in Adelaide too
Glenelg, Brighton and the City are the ones I am aware of, although more than likely there is others
Melbourne used 14 tonnes 😮of
Happy New Year 🥳 Ryan and Family. I am so glad that you enjoyed a taste of Australia 🇦🇺 Love your show have a GREAT 2025🎆
Nothing beats watching Sydney's NYE fireworks near the harbour. Amazing and unforgettable!
Happy New Year to you and your family! Wishing you all the very best for the new year!
Don't skip ahead keep watching! I'm seeing it for first time with you!
Me too. In Perth
There were 1,000,000 people around the harbour foreshore.
And about another 20million glued to their tvs, computers! Tablets & phones.
As someone who lives on the harbour I hate the traffic and road closures on New Year’s Eve
@@The_Void_Opener , yeah, I can imagine.
@@The_Void_Openeryou poor sob😂, enjoy the rest of the year.
Yeah I was watching the fireworks from a beach right across the harbour and I could see them from there. I swear half the population was there or something
20yrs ago i got transfer to Sydney and lived right there near opera house..My first NYE show was amazing and each yr improves..i used to walk my dog all around the area at night and found best spot of all to watch each year..what people cant see is when you turn around to see city..only about 3 blocks away ...is many of Xydneys high rise buildings have fireworks soaring off the top of them.
Its an event everyone from around the world should experience as never forgotten even now up north in tropics i still get amazed with them....
Happy New Year to you and your family from an Aussie living in Edinburgh, always love watching your reactions to Australia 😊. Would definitely watch a live at the end of this year (is 9.30am 1/1/25 as I write this) 🎉🎉🎉
The golden waterfall is always my favourite. Happy New Year, Ryan. I hope 2025 brings you everything you wish for.
……mine, too! 🇦🇺
One of my besties won a Sydney radio comp back in the day, and we got to be on Sydney Harbour in a gorgeous boat partying right in front of the Harbour Bridge and after the count down we got to hit the button and start the fireworks 🎆 over Sydney Harbour for the New Year. A surreal once in a lifetime thing! NOW THAT WAS EXTRA! 😉❤😁🇦🇺 HAPPY NEW YEAR RYAN & EVERYBODY ❤ 2025 YAY!!!!!
We love our little city, we love our little country.
They always out do themselves Sydney fireworks are the best
Would love to see you watching the fireworks live for the next New Year. They just keep getting better year after year.
Happy New Year! 🎇
From Australia 🇦🇺
Why don't you make a plan to bring you and your family here for New Years in 2026 Ryan!??!!? Start working on it now. I'm sure there will be an Aussie family who will put you up for a week or so to be here for the event! Come on Aussies, what say you?
Don't you think he'll feel more comfortable in a hotel or resort I couldn't imagine living with someone you don't know from a bar of soap
@@deboraholoughiln1152 It's has been my long and wealth of experience that Australians are very friendly and accomodating to visitors to this country. It's also been my experience that people in a strange place enjoy and welcome friendly people rather than being alone and isolated due to not knowing the people OR the culture that they find themselves in. You must be a singular case that finds this not true.
I don't have a big place, but i would be happy to vacte for them, busses at the door right to the city! ( or if they want ne to stay i can play tourist guid but i would deffinatly relocate my dooggo for the time :) )
@@amberants Well done Amberants I would do it too, but I don't own a house. I'm renting. There you go, Ryan your accommodations all handled now you've just gotta find enough money for the flights.
@@amberants Well one thing is clear...Ryan does NOT read his comments section!!!
Ryan, I hope you watched it again - without interruptions.. its worth the watch!
Happy New Year from North Queensland Australia.
Just for a brief moment prior to the video playing, you scrolled down a tad bit and I saw my comment on that video😂 I had my eyes peeled for it❤🎉 Happy new years either way!!!
From Australia ❤
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you & all you're loved ones be safe be well.
🍾🎉🥂
We out do ourselves every year.
Best fireworks display with the best pyrotechnician's in the world!!
Cost 2024/25 = $7.8M
Fun fact: 1976 was Sydney's 1st ever NYE fireworks display.
We also added a 9pm show for the kids which was a great addition.
I'm old & I've seen every NYE fireworks since 1985 -2024/25 & hope to many more
Happy New Year Ryan and Family 😊
HNY Ryan!
The music accompanying the fireworks was specially composed for the occasion.
they had the west face of the bridge lit up this year same as the east, so folks on that side got the same experience
Agreed, just put the phones down and live it.
I watched it live, it's the best I've ever seen.
Happy New Year Ryan and family 🎉. The fireworks were stupendous but my favourite bit was the bit where while everyone was waiting for the countdown, Robbie Williams sang John Farnhams’ “You’re the Voice “ and everyone joined in. That was special.
Happy New Year from Mandurah Western Australia 🎇🎆🎇🎆 wishing you and yours a fantastic 2025, with only great things coming your way, health, happiness and love for all ❤
Omg I'm from mandurah!
@@JessDLSR Well g'day Jessica. There's a few of us around 😁. Hope your day is going well hon.... I'm behind Bortolo Park, where are you?
@roslynjonsson2383 omg I'm off exchequer!
@@JessDLSR lol, within walking distance lol. How long were you without power last night ?
@roslynjonsson2383 only a couple hours thankfully, was too hot for it
Brought a tear to my eye. We went to bed early after a long flight back from Perth and missed these fireworks. I am so proud to be a Sydneysider born and bred.
There was over a million people around the harbour watching this, I watch it on the telly as I live 4 hours away, we have fireworks over our river starting at 9pm lasting about 20min so I get to watch our town fireworks live, then Sydney on my telly at midnight yay. Happy New year to you and your family Ryan ❤🎉
It's the same time down the whole Eastern seaboard... AEDT), and every capital city (Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Hobart) has these firework shows. I think Melbourne's is available online, too. Xx
I was crook last night, so missed it all. Spectacular, as always. Happy 2025, Aussies! Happy future 2025, Ryan!
Sorry about that Darl hope you're feeling better 😊
@KiwiNana1 thanks so much! Happy New Year! 🥳
Happy New Year Ryan. Yes Sydney sets the scene every year. It’s unbelievable. They plan 18 months ahead. 🇦🇺
Happy New Year Ryan! Thank you for all of your reaction videos. You have cracked me up at least once per reaction throughout 2024, so you have legitimately made me smile and laugh every day! 😂 Wishing you and your family a stress free and fabulous 2025 ❤
Nothing beats Sydney New Year’s fireworks! There’s upwards if a million people gathered on both sides if our harbour!
Don't get to annoyed at urself for not thinking of a live stream earlier😅. If I didn't watch ur video then I never wouldn't of even seen Sydney's fireworks & I LIVE IN ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA🇦🇺, So well done and Thank You 🎉 happy new year 🎆
Sydney fireworks are epic to watch & even better to be there in person. Although, the crowds are insane! 1 million were there NYE
Definitely worth doing it one year though, you'd love it. Happy New Year & thanks for the video xx
Aussies do it best in the world. I love our cuzzies across the ditch 🎉🎉😊
Nice comment😊 Happy New Year!
We live in Sydney and usually just watch on TV but this year we ended up at a venue where we could see just the top of the bridge and 3 of the barge's results in the sky. We watched the broadcast version the next evening and it just can't capture the amazing brilliance accurately enough. Watching on a big screen has massive advantages because it's such a H U G E undertaking to get to a good vantage point to see it live. But yeah, so proud of my city and every year we think we've reached a pinnacle, and every year it's better than the last. The Foti family deserve so much credit. HAPPY NEW YEAR and all the best wishes to everyone for 2025! Cheers from Oz!!
We do not do things by half measure.
Every year is spectacular
I am born and raised in Sydney and you have to experience these fireworks live once in your lifetime. The video doesn’t give it justice.
Happy New year, Ryan and watchers. May 2025 be an excellent year!
Happy new year. The countdown happened on the concert stage outside the Opera House, with the performer Robbie Williams and the hosts of the concert telecast from Channel 2 ABC who have hosted this for the last few years. The fireworks are put together by the Foti family who have been doing fireworks in Australia for decades.
Not sure if Ryan knows who Robbie Williams is, one of my American daughter in laws told me that he isn't really known in the states.
Happy New Year Ryan.
All the Capital Cities do amazing fireworks displays. All are different but all are spectacular
yeah you were right in the finale then zipped forward xD I watched it live on Aussie TV. Sydney has like the best fireworks in the world and they plan it all year. Happy 2025.🥳
We are the best in the world. Love living in Australia- so happy my parents immigrated from the Uk. ❤
Happy New Year Ryan and family 🎆🎉🥂 I'm from Melbourne, Australia and decided to watch Melbourne's fireworks, it was spectacular !!!! But I have to say, with Sydney having the iconic bridge, they sure outshone everyone again this year 😀🥰💜
but the bridge is all sydney has. melbourne lit up the city and i thought that was stunning 😊
Sydney's new year fireworks are amazing but Melbourne had its own amazing display this year. Please take the time to have a look.
Happy New Year Ryan. I could see the fireworks from the rooftop of my apartment building. Epic!!!
I'm so pleased that you did this, as my TV isn't picking up the channels at the moment, so I wasn't able to watch the amazing Sydney Firework display this year. I didn't want you to skip through it, but I understand. I loved seeing your jaw drop at the magnificence of it. I agree, it sure is mind blowing how we can be in different years all over the world at the same time. I've been enjoying your videos. Thank you. You always make me laugh.
Happy New Year, Ryan. May it bring you love, joy, prosperity and contentment.
With love from Alison Hood from the southwest of Western Australia💕.
Next year you should come here and experience the awesomeness with your family. Happy new year Ryan (or, Ryno in Aus)!
Robbie Williams also gave a concert prior to the fireworks next to the opera house! We got to see this live across Australia ! An amazing night!!!
We have pretty amazing fireworks at all then major cities. Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth……. But the Sydney over the Harbour is the best!!!
Ryan, mate, you have ended your 2024 reactions with the most intelligent words you have ever said. I have bagged you in the past for your naivety (but still always admitted I love your reactions) and probably will in 2025. "OMG, put your phones down". I cannot believe almost everyone in that crowd was watching through their phone screens! Why bother going? Stay home and watch it on TV through your phone screen. Happy New Year mate, awesome observation.
You’d be surprised. They watch the fireworks while holding their phones high knowing wherever they point they catch something of the spectacle. It’s all fine. It’s just people preserving moments of joy. 💕🎆
Happy New Year Ryan and family. I love your reactions. I cant wait for the day you finally travel down under! There will be alot of people would love to meet up with you and show you around. ❤
Happy New Year Ryan🎉& Family🎉
Fun fact we gave fireworks in most towns put on by our local councils.
My town of under twenty thousand people has it down by the river at 9pm with a family fair type atmosphere food vans etc from 5pm
Ours went for 10 minuetes & was really pretty.🎉
I love the Sydney fireworks I watch them every year they are so beautiful
I watched it live from Perth which meant I could go to bed at 9. 😂😂😂
Happy New Year to you & your family Ryan ! Hope it's a fantastic one for you all !
Hi from Sydney Australia, that was our new years fireworks. Of course I didn't go this year, used to go as a young girl. Watched on TV, happy new years so far 2025 has been a hot one
I stayed up till midnight I live in Tasmania, and we had the same time as Sydney and I watched it. I was stunned! 😳 Happy new year!🥳
there are 1.6 million people on the Sydney Harbour Foreshores some getting in line almost 12 hours early there were total of 23,000 individual fireworks 13 Aerial shells 40,000 ground effects that were fired off in 16 locations including barges, drone carrying platforms, CBD buildings & the Sydney Harbour Bridge which was also illuminated by 20 sky tracker light beams & there were 26,500 lightshots at the bridge & the firework shots were in 264 spots on the bridge with 80 new positions on the western side of the bridge for the fist time ever so yeah the worlds best New Years Eve every year & OHHHHHHH thank you to the Fotis greatest NYE pyrotechnic operators in the world
My daughter and missus were in New York for the ball drop, they loved it! We are from Brisbane, Australia. ❤️🇦🇺
I can actually see the Sydney fireworks from my balcony and have a stunning view of them 1 Street down! So here I am though watching Ryan watch our fireworks from America 😂.
Sounds about right for a sydney sider
My sister used to live in Kirribilli so we used to wander down with the kids for the 9pm display and then someone/s would stay home with the sleeping children while the rest wandered back down for the midnight ones. Was awesome! Especially when the kids were little.
Being born and breed in Sydney I am always proud of our fireworks. The Foti family do a fantastic job every year.
Happy New Year!! Greetings from Sydney 😃 🎆
Happy new year from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
We are very lucky, I can't think of anywhere else in the world more perfect for a Fireworks display. The bridge is the perfect structure to act as a centrepiece, the harbour is beautiful and provides so many amazing vantage points for the crowds - over 1 million I hear in the news. Harbour provides reflections from the water, a vast open space for the fireworks themselves. It's just magic. People here sometimes complain about the money spent, but really it makes money for the city, as it's the NUMBER ONE place in the whole world renowned for NYE, and gets lots of international visitors.
Love this comment.,I am in Melbourne and agree with everything you said😊
Me - a proud Aussie 🇦🇺 who lives in North Queensland, watching your reaction matey 🥲💛🎆 Made me more proud to be an Aussie than I did NYE watching this spectacular show at midnight with my partner and 3 kiddos ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Your reaction was so humbling 🤗 Thank you so so much for reacting to this 🙏 ❤
Ryan's reaction was priceless 😊
Happy New Year Ryan!
I watched it from next to the Ferris wheel behind the bridge. Sensational in person. Feeling it as much as seeing it. Hope you get to see it in person one day. Cheers! 🎉
Happy New Year Ryan. Yes it is spectacular Sydney Harbour N Y E. You will have to make your way over, you would be very welcome
Was there and uploaded it from a different pov, best show I've seen at Sydney
Happy New Year from Falcon, Western Australia!
So when are you visiting our beautiful city? I didn't see these live this year but I felt the reverberations from my home 7 miles away. They are truly amazing!
Happy new year Ryan we have 1 of the best NYE fireworks in da world 😊
EVERY YEAR SYDNEY......PHENOMENAL AS USUAL.....LOVE IT 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾🍾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fireworks are big for Australian New Year not all to the Sydney Harbour level but in my suburb in Melbourne fireworks go off and the Beach suburb
down the way people drive to the beach area and watch a quite healthy firework display
Yeah, I heard some locally in my little country town in SE Qld.
Absolutely stunning...Sydney is amazing. The biggest city and most populated in Australia. Every time I go there, I'm in awe of the Opera House, Harbor bridge, Center Point tower. Amazing iconic city.
Hi from Western Australia. Just want to say that my algorithm is pretty serious and even gruesome (Gaza, Geopolitics, Sudan, Syria, USA...) but I set an alarm for 2pm to tune in and see what you are reacting to next 😊 I am not even sure why. Just a break from the horror I guess, but also because I like how you are genuinely interested in Australia. I hope you get to come visit sometime. WA has everything btw. Not that I am biased haha. We have three different climates in the one state - so if you are into nature we have it all over here 🙂
😀😀😀 Watching from Fremantle
Mandurah here 😊
WA has everything? Like what? Sounds like someone is jelly about not being a Sydney-sider. All good, we understand.
Yea, the serious Al Gore Rhythms. (A band I liked back at the turn of the century) May I add Ukraine? Add some music, astrophysics and philosophy to your viewing and you'll be fine. Hi, from the beautiful emerald bay of Melbourne.💋🫂🐬🦎🥂
@@jsi4064 No thanks. You guys can keep Sydney all to yourselves, we have everything we need, and more, right here in WA 😝
Its an absolutely incredible experience in person, I've been 4 times. I certainly would never battle those crowds only to stuff a great moment by watching it through a 15cm phone screen glued to my face!!
Happy New Year 2025 Ryan and family, from fantabulous Sydney Australia! 🙋🎶🎉🌟
Love some of your happy expressions to this one, it's like I could see your inner 8 year old enjoying himself fully.
Happy New Years to your little family, I bet Jas is getting bigger now 🥰
Happy New Year, from. Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 🎉
I have not stopped talking about how you mentioned you were going to do a year in Australia! I have been expecting it each new post haha looking forward to it! PS I am an American living in Australia! 🤌🏼
Melbourne fireworks were fabulous this year too. It was in 27 different areas. You could see it from miles away. Happy New Year.
Melbourne apparently used 5 MORE tons than sydney this year!
They've just done a recount and found we were once again one teaspoon short.@@peachescantplay
Yet again a Melbourner trying to compare diamonds with coal.
"But our coal is BIGGER!"
Except even then it isn't because we to had over 20 launch sites around the city you probably failed to count.
Just celebrate your own successes, like the most awesome cricket crowds ever. Comparing and competing with Sydney is so 1990s. Move on. We're both great but very, very different. @peachescantplay
@@Dobuan75 brotha what? I was saying something I heard on the news and found fascinating... I couldn't care less about ur little Sydney is better mindset or cricket or anything u just said. mate i was even born i Sydney pipe down
@@octurn surly the illegal fireworks made up for it ahah
Happy New Year Ryan wishing you and your family an amazing year. Thankyou
Also in the harbour while we were waiting for the fire works they had lots of proformeances including Robbie Williams who did a performance
Cool!
I'm an Aussie and I live in Sydney this is the first time seeing this year's fireworks I suppose we do take it for granted😂 fun fact crocodile Dundee worked on that bridge
Happy new year Ryan
Happy New Year to you and your family Ryan, Alex.
