1. "The O.C." - "The Countdown"

Marissa has just said "I love you" to Ryan who responds with a big fat "thank you." To make matters worse, he doesn't want to go to the penthouse New Year's Eve party she'll be at. As the clock is ticking down to midnight, Marissa is considering kissing Oliver, but a struggling Ryan bursts in just in time to tell her he loves her too. Meanwhile, Summer kisses a rando at the party and is bummed that he's not Seth Cohen, who's off kissing Anna. Shoutout to "Dice" by Finley Quaye playing throughout the scene that adds to the drama and emotion.

2. "Bridget Jones's Diary"

See, nice boys kiss good, Bridget Jones! The beloved protagonist may start out downing a tub of ice cream while translating her angst into a diary, but she kicks off the New Year with a new diary - courtesy of Mr. Darcy - and a sweet, New Year's kiss with her true love in the snow.

3. "When Harry Met Sally"

Throughout the entirety of When Harry Met Sally, you're wondering will they or won't they have their happy ending? Just when you think Sally is finally fed up with Harry's games, he epically professes his love for her in the middle of a New Year's Eve party. Shockingly enough, her repeated response of "I hate you" warrants one of the cutest, most heartwarming kisses in rom com history. As "Auld Lang Syne" plays in the background, you can't help but smile. They are soul mates.

4. "The Big Bang Theory" - "The Justice League Recombination"

Penny's New Year's Eve kiss with Zach is one of the show's saddest moments - poor Leonard! Not only does Penny smooch right in front of Leonard, but she clearly still has feelings for him and it's torture for him to watch her get her NYE kiss.

5. "The Godfather: Part II"

OK, so this isn't at all a romantic New Year's Eve kiss, but it's definitely one that's unforgettable. Chilling even. After Michael is betrayed by his brother Fredo, he gives him the kiss of death while surrounded by people at a party ringing in the New Year. "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart," he says after the kiss. *Chills*

6. "New Year's Eve"

"What the hell are you doing, I'm twice your age!" Michelle Pfeiffer shouts to Zac Efron after he lays a smooch on her. This is arguably one of the best scenes in the movie, which even Preiffer herself has agreed on.

7. "Friends" - "The One With All The Resolutions"

Before Monica and Chandler were out about their relationship, they just wanted to smooch on New Year's Eve - so Joey helps them cover it up by telling the other friends they have to kiss another friend at midnight. Joey kisses Rachel and Ross kisses Phoebe while Chandler and Monica get it on.

8. “Sex And The City: The Movie”

Who said New Year's Eve kisses have to be romantic? While at a NYE soiree, gay friends Standford and Anthony anxiously look around for someone to kiss, but have no luck. So naturally, they down their champagne and share a little smooch. 'Cause why not?
