Netflix’s New Year’s Eve Countdowns Will Help Put Your Kids To Bed Early

Netflix will help parents ring in the New Year a little early and without having to worry about tired and cranky kids who refuse to go to bed before the ball drops. The streaming video platform released a series of New Year’s Eve countdown videos that parents can turn on at any point on December 31 to convince their children the New Year has arrived.

The New Year’s Eve countdown videos feature hosts from some of Netflix’s original children’s programming titles, including Care Bears & Cousins, Inspector Gadget, Puffin Rock, and Project MC2. Families can simply search for “New Year’s Eve” in Netflix and select which countdown video they want to watch. Then parents can just tell their kids the New Year has arrived and it’s time for bed, no matter how early it is. Netflix’s New Year’s Eve countdowns are available on the platform now through (presumably) December 31.

This isn’t the first time Netflix has helped parents trick their kids into going to bed early on New Year’s Eve. Last December, the streaming platform provided a countdown video featuring King Julien from its original DreamWorks Animation series All Hail King Julien (which is also featured in this year’s NYE countdown videos). The NYE countdown video was originally inspired by a Netflix study, which found 34% of parents try to get their kids to think it’s the New Year before it actually arrives.

So on New Year’s Eve, enjoy your childfree evening of celebration (and possibly some chill), courtesy of Netflix.
