The men of 98 Degrees won't be gathering moss anytime soon.

After appearing in a slew of holiday specials and releasing the seasonal album "This Christmas," the muscular foursome will be winding down the millennium with a New Year's Eve performance in MTV's Times Square studios. They've already got some big plans for the New Year, as the group's Jeff Timmons related to MTV News.

"We are going to... finish off in Times Square on New Year's, and then we're going take about a month off, then start a new album," Jeff said.

For the new venture, the guys plan to expand their studio horizons by taking control behind the scenes as well as on the mics.

"This next album is going to be a very, very mature album," Jeff began.

98 Degrees' current direction has got them ranked high up on the "Billboard" album chart with two different releases: "This Christmas" stands at number 27 after seven weeks, while the triple-platinum "98 Degrees And Rising" rises to number 38 after over a year on the chart.

In a matter of weeks, the group will be celebrating New Year's Eve with Blink-182, Goo Goo Dolls, Christina Aguilera, Jay-Z, Bush, and Puff Daddy (among others) at the "MTV 2 Large" celebration on New Year's Eve.
