New Jersey town to drop giant fiberglass M&M to ring in the New Year

HACKETTSTOWN, New Jersey (WABC) -- All eyes will be on Times Square this weekend to watch the ball drop, but one town in New Jersey is starting a New Year's Eve tradition - and a much tastier one at that.

Hackettstown will drop a giant fiberglass M&M to ring in the New Year.

A facility in Hackettstown has been making M&Ms since 1958.



The town says this is the first year of what will become an annual tradition.
