New Year’s Eve is tomorrow, so if you want to ring in the New Year with your very little ones, but don’t want them to stay up til the stroke of midnight, Netflix has a solution for you.

Netflix has created an on-demand New Year’s Eve Countdown program on their streaming service that can be watched beforehand, because from what I understand there are people who on New Year’s Eve fool their small children into thinking it’s midnight earlier than when it is, so that they’ll go to sleep on time.

The Netflix countdown is a 3-minute short featuring King Julien, the star of their new series All Hail King Julien, a spin-off of DreamWorks Animations’ Madagascar film. The Countdown is available right now in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, UK, Ireland, the Nordics, the Netherlands, and France.

According to Netflix, a recent survey revealed that 34% of parents admitted to starting their New Year’s celebrations early in an effort to fool their children into thinking it was midnight, so that the kids would go to bed at their normal bedtime.

That’s when King Julien decided to sponsor his own early celebration:

So, for those of you with little ones who want to start the party early, visit the All Hail King Julien Netflix page and go to the “Trailers and More” section to select the Countdown. Also, the first five episodes of All Hail King Julien are available now for viewing on Netflix as well.
