Pedroche's dress will be alive
Alberto Chicote and Cristina Pedroche have been ringing the bells together at Antena 3 for almost a decade.
Every year on Antena 3 the great unknown is how Cristina Pedroche will dress to ring the bells with Alberto Chicote.

Before that, the musical gala “Goodbye to 2023” will be hosted by Eva González and Roberto Leal from 10 p.m. And immediately after the bell rings, the station will offer a similar range of music, but this time in a karaoke version, without giving much thought to the title: Singing to 2024.
Carillon in Seville for Telecinco
Jesús Calleja and Marta Flich travel to Seville to ring the bells of Cuatro and Telecinco.
Telecinco uses the same formula as on December 24th and will program New Year's Eve with you on the last evening of the year. Christian Gávez and Verónica Dulanto will present musical performances. And Cuatro is once again banking on his great success: First Dates pays tribute to 1920s Hollywood in its last program of the year.

As usual with Mediaset, they will do this outside the Puerta del Sol in Madrid. This time the communications group has chosen Seville. In 2024, the city will become the capital of the European aerospace industry and will serve as a center of attraction for the promotion of the miniseries that it is preparing together with Prime Video, in which Calleja will be the first non-astronaut Spaniard to go into space travels.
