From a giant peach in Atlanta to a pickle in Dillsburg, PA, there are plenty of wacky drops happening across the country to ring in the new year. Peepsfest, in Bethlehem, PA, is one of them, and its 15th Annual Peepsfest, taking place December 30–31, will feature a 400-pound Peeps chick drop, along with live music and entertainment, ice skating, a fun run, and more.
