Keeping the kids up until midnight to celebrate New Year's Eve is never worth the bad mood they'll be in the next day because they're tired.
However, celebrating three hours earlier might be the best way to ensure you can all enjoy the occasion, and you certainly wouldn't be the only family to do so!
According to new research from Netflix, more than half of parents around the world would jump at the chance to put their kids to bed before the clock strikes twelve.
In fact, parents in the US, UK, Canada and Australia agree 9 p.m. is the new midnight, and nearly half of mums and dads in these countries say they’d countdown those famous ten seconds by this time.
But it doesn't have to be nine - you can make it even earlier thanks to Netflix! With six on-demand countdown specials launching today, you can make ten o'clock, nine o'clock, eight o'clock or any time your midnight.
And with a whole new set of countdowns on Netflix designed for pre-schoolers, tweens and everyone in between, you choose when it’s time to say goodnight and the kids choose how to celebrate
Kids can ring in the new year again and again with countdowns featuring Oona and Baba of Irish animation Puffin Rock, Care Bears & Cousins, Inspector Gadget, the Project Mc2 girls, and all of their DreamWorks Animation friends including King Julien and Mr. Peabody & Sherman.
No matter where you are, start your party anytime, anywhere by searching New Year’s Eve Countdown on Netflix.
We won’t tell them it’s not midnight if you don’t!
