Netflix Wants to Help Your Family Ring In the New Year in Compliance With the Kids' Bedtimes

On the eve of the New Year, families often either keep their older kids up until midnight (and pay for it the next day) or the kids keep to their scheduled bedtimes and miss the countdown of the most famous 10 seconds of the year. If you want to stick to your regularly programmed bedtime routines [1] on New Year's Eve but still want to celebrate those last precious seconds before midnight together, Netflix is here to help.

For the third year in a row, the streaming service has created themed countdowns [2] featuring characters from your child's favorite Netflix original shows to help you celebrate New Year's at any time on Dec. 31. Scroll through to see GIF previews of the 10 new on-demand countdowns that will be available on the service starting Dec. 28.
