BETHLEHEM, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- A beloved Lehigh Valley tradition continued on New Year's Eve.

A 4'9 replica of the marshmallow candy, weighing in at more than 400 pounds, was the star of the annual "Peeps Chick Drop."

They dropped it during a family-friendly celebration at the SteelStacks in Bethlehem, held at 6 p.m. so children could attend.

The fun was all capped off by a fireworks show.
